What, a Bunyan on the Achilles heel of TIME? Your supposed portrait of John Milton (TIME, March 17) is believed by authorities (J. F. Marsh, G. C. Williamson, et al.) to be actually of [John Bunyan], the author of Pilgrim's Progress. Your cut showed but part of the picture; a staff and pilgrim's bottle are really in the left background, and what appears to be a representation of the risen Savior is in the upper right. The portrait belonged to Capel Lofft, who believing it to be of Milton, published an engraving...

The remaining one per cent occasionally brightens our day. Herewith is a file of the more curious communications [from draft registrants, their friends, et al.].

...other four spots. Among those that would like to take over a place on the FM band are Joseph Medill Patterson's News, Musak, The Yankee Network, and an outfit called FM Radio Broadcasting Co., headed by Investment Banker Charles E. Merrill. Hotfooting after Banker Merrill, et al., are stations ranging from the 1,000-watt WHOM to municipal station WNYC. Although the battle may be warm, big shots like Messrs, Patterson and Merrill, Musak and The Yankee Network will probably come out on top since they have the cash to live up to FCC operating regulations...
