...bureau chief. Last week two big Philippine newspapers, the Manila Times and Bulletin, protested editorially against President Carlos Garcia's recent decision to ban Bell from the Philippines for reporting the corruption and increasing anti-Americanism of Garcia's government (TIME, Feb. 2). Said the Times: "The broad principles of press freedom are threatened by the President's attitude toward the Bell case." In almost 15 years as one of TIME'S top correspondents, Jim Bell has suffered just about every vicissitude of the reporter's trade, including near mobbing at the hands...
Needed: New Maps. Broad-shouldered and handsome, Sékou Touré is as dynamic a platform performer as any in all Black Africa. He is the idol of his 2,500,000 people, and the shadow he casts over Africa stretches far beyond the borders of his Oregon-sized country.

Last week somnolent, picturesque Conakry was getting to know how it feels...
...wife and mother in her youth, Cousin Julia switched to male attire and a career as a political goon for Dictator Jorge Ubico (1931-44).

Dockside waits his nubile ward, played by Joan Marshall, whom Writer David Friedkin describes as a "lovely, whimsical, gay, arrant broad in love with a virile guy-only he doesn't want to get married...
Autobiographer Clemens never used the chronological approach, scribbled or dictated his recollections at random. But Editor Neider has contrived to fit them into a sort of chronological narrative, in which the reader can follow the broad outlines of Mark Twain's hectic life-his days on a newspaper in Hannibal, Mo. (he worked for board and clothes), his career as printer in St. Louis, silver miner in Nevada, correspondent in the Sandwich Islands, river boat pilot on the Mississippi. Clemens fondly speaks of one "charmingly leisurely boat, the slowest on the planet. Upstream she couldn't even beat...
