Last week, to fill a gap in U.S. information, Royall announced a survey of the least known of the possible alternate routes-across the watersheds of the Atrato and Truandó rivers in northwest Colombia. A joint U.S.-Colombian commission will start a full-dress survey within 60 days. The work will take about six weeks, will cost $150,000. The findings will be considered by the U.S. Congress when it gets around-perhaps next year-to redefining U.S. canal policy...
...London is having her first coat of paint since the war, and the masons and glaziers and bricklayers are busy everywhere. Underneath the refurbished facade, though, is a grimness which reveals in lots of little ways that the British are worrying that the gap between what's going out and what's coming back isn't being closed fast enough...

...Near Augusta, Ga., A.T. & T. was closing the last gap between the East Coast network and the great coaxial cable joining Los Angeles with Miami. But about 400 special television boosters will have to be built before New Yorkers can see Hollywood stars, or Californians can see a World Series.

Some of the regulars wear flamboyant disguises, assume fake accents to attract the attention of M.C.s, invent fantastic names and laugh-getting occupations. Mrs. Hertz does not stoop to such obvious devices. "I'm comical," she explains, with a gap-toothed grin, "I'm cute." After a fashion, she is. Short (4 ft. 10 in.) and pear-shaped, Sadie looks rather like a good-natured witch (a role she played last Halloween with obvious relish on WOR's Daily Dilemma). Her other assets as a quizgoer include ten years of experience, a bobbing head of tight grey...
