LONG before the civil rights bill worked its way into the headlines, TIME'S Congressional Correspondent James L. McConaughy Jr. caught wind of a story. Contrary to Washington belief, the Administration's civil rights bill was in for real trouble because of something called a "jury trial amendment" (TIME, May 6). Thus forewarned, McConaughy and other TIME correspondents sleuthed the progress of civil rights from secret conference to secret caucus to be ready and waiting to provide both the behind-the-scenes story and knowing coverage when the story broke into historic debate. See NATIONAL AFFAIRS, Surprising Defeat, The Rearguard Commander, and Jury Trials & Contempt.

By doctors' estimates, as many as 50 mililon Americans this fall may have to take to their beds for at least four to five days with a special variety of sniffles, aches, pains and high fever. In some areas, between 10% and 20 % of the population may be out of action all at once. Reason: It is now clear that despite the best efforts of medical men and drug manufacturers, only a small part of the U.S. population can be protected in time against the new flu virus that filtered through the Bamboo Curtain last April. For the latest, disquieting report on the invader and on the defense measures being planned, see MEDICINE, Asian Flu: the Outlook.

When TIME Correspondent Jim Bell interviewed Philippine President Carlos Garcia last May, two months after Ramon Magsaysay's funeral, Garcia made it perfectly clear that he intended to seek the presidency on his own this November. Last week Correspondent Bell, back in Manila, spent three hours with the President while Garcia chain-smoked Chesterfields and described the political maneuvering that brought him the Nacionalista Party nomination for President. For the lively story of how he did it, with delegates and decolletage, see FOREIGN NEWS, Here Comes Charley.

TAKE the Parthenon," said Manhattan Architect Marcel Breuer. "The sculpture is architectural decoration, whereas in our sculptural solutions we use completely independent forms which by some invisible, mysterious means 'jive' with the architecture." Breuer was talking to TIME Researcher Martha Peter Welch, who called on him last week to get his views on the relationship of outdoor sculpture to modern architecture. From the Parthenon Breuer moved quickly on to his UNESCO building, which is being put up in Paris with sculpture and murals by Henry Moore, Alexander Calder, Arp, Miro and Picasso. As Breuer talked, he doodled his ideas on a piece of paper lying on his desk (see cut). The story and the page of color pictures that started all this are laid out in ART, Sculpture Outside.
