...which he interviewed 96 top government officials, economists and businessmen. His report, bolstered by additional material from TIME'S European and U.S. bureaus, brought into focus a new American-type capitalism that around the world is replacing the old system of cartels and feudal wealth. The Tokyo bureau added the story of Japan's striking progress, while the Hong Kong bureau analyzed the trials, tribulations and triumphs of Southeast Asia. As other reports poured in from Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and TIME'S domestic bureaus, they added up to a year in which free-enterprise...

Twenty-eight days and one hurricane later, he landed in San Diego, minus 107 cattle and one crew member who had died on the way. There he was greeted by the A.S.P.C.A., U.S. Bureau of Customs, and the Public Health Service.
