While most of TIME'S cover pictures are the product of long, painstaking work by editors and artists, this week's was produced from a wrinkled, wallet-sized picture in the Powers family album. As it was being engraved, all of the plants in which TIME is printed-Chicago, Albany, Washington, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Melbourne, Paris and Havana-were preparing for the big change. When the covers were being airlifted to their destinations, said Production Chief Bert Chapman, "practically every airplane overhead was carrying TIME material...

Instead of selling British products, wrote the Economist, many an ad relies with "desperate emphasis" on the implication that "we know this product is not competitive in price or design, but it is British-made and we've been making it for a very long time." When the British Travel Association sets out to extol the virtues of British food, the Economist says, "native critics feel distinctly uneasy," for "where would the tourist find that exquisite rare roast beef?"
