As students from coast to coast were having those first happy (well, some of them happy) thoughts about going back to school, TIME'S Education Department last week was busy preparing a special greeting (see advertisement in this issue). Part of the greeting is a new Summer Review Quiz on current affairs, a first-of-the-term supplement to TIME'S annual Current Affairs Test that is sent out early in the calendar year and is used in thousands of U.S. classrooms.

If the new quiz were based only on this week's TIME, some of the questions would be like this:

A. Levittown, Pa.

B. An air view of the District of Columbia.

C. Marilyn Monroe.

D. Abilene, Kans.

All the information to get 100% on this quiz can be found in this issue of TIME; nevertheless, we supply an easy rundown of answers on Page 74. But that won't do you any good, kids, if that's what you are thinking. None of these specific questions will be in the test that we will send out Sept. 15.
