...Simplon Pass into Italy, crossed Yugoslavia and Greece. Outside Zagreb they had their only flat. On through Ankara, across high, arid plateaus, down through the Taurus Mountains and across Syria the Half Safe chugged along. In Iran the craft was mistaken for a Russian tank and got a military escort to the Pakistan border. At twilight in Teheran the Half Safe smacked into a traffic island but suffered only a slight loss of paint...
Formosa gave the Half Safe a fine welcome: fireworks, a military escort and free watermelon at every corner. "It's true of islands everywhere," says Carlin.

Paralleling Helen's legitimate claim of kinship with Adlai, Kentucky's back...
...Jewel Box Like a Pimple. The preacher who will press the button happily takes time out to escort visitors around his still-unfinished "Landmark for Christ''-into the cylindrical, louvered educational building with its 50 schoolrooms (each with its own washroom), its movie and sound equipment, its $50,000 kitchen ("The women had their way here"), its 500-capacity dining room looking out over the parking lots (675 cars when completed) and outdoor theater (where Miss Oklahoma was picked last month). Pastor Alexander proudly shows off the deeply carpeted little theater-in-the-round, now used by dramatic...
