You might like to read about the way news is found--
sbBy being on the scene, as Correspondent James Wilde was in the Nile hovels of Barsha, where the teen-age girls with water jugs on their heads will be married by 15 and dead by 40--an illustration of the problems that face Egypt still, ten years after Nasser seized power.
sbOr riding the all-night bus, as Correspondent Ben Gate did, between one-night stands of the Stan Ken ton band (see Music) and getting into the stiff poker game and discovering that whatever glamour there is in that kind of jazz life, it's all out front.
sbOr going to the press conference when Agriculture Secretary Orville Freeman blows his stack at the Republicans, and he blames his ferocity on his breakfast pill: "What do you call them--a unipill? or univac?"
Or in the way news is told--
sbIn terms of people, such as Britain's new Chancellor of the Exchequer Reggie Maudling, 45, who remembers his Oxford tutor telling him that in philosophy progress is made "not by finding the answers but by progressively clarifying the questions."
sbOr Sam Newhouse, this week's cover subject, who can't sleep nights, but might try counting papers--the ones he owns, more than any other press lord in the U.S.
sbOr Gary Grant, who will still be Hollywood's leading man "when the back side of the moon is selling for $500 an acre and the Ford V80 runs on nuclear power."
Or the way news is remembered--
In catchy words such as two in BUSINESS:
sbWalkaways, who default in their FHA mortgages by simply dropping the keys in the mailboxes of their homes and walking away from them.
sbEuro-dollars, which look like ordinary U.S. dollars and work just as hard, but never come home.
All in this week's issue.
