Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. This quarto magazine-style "newspaper" ("registered as a newspaper for transmission in the United Kingdom") measures 10-1/4 X 14-1/4 inches (26 X 36 cm. -- slightly larger than the bed of our scanner) on glossy, coated stock. Welcoming Sierra Leone into the Commonwealth; excavation of the 2,400-year-old temple of Hemithea, near Pazarlik; photos of "The smiling victor Dr. Fidel Castro the Prime Minister"; calcified bodies being uncovered at Pompeii; Lyndon Johnson watching John Kennedy sign a bill that makes Johnson chairman of the National Aeronautics and Space Council; John Glenn on the ground in Mercury spacecraft; "Beautiful Queen Farah of Iran." The Triumph Herald "1200" saloon, a boxy and unimpressive little two-door (though not much worse than the Austin A40 advertised in color inside the rear wrap) is named "Car of the Month" for its "attractive styling and eye appeal" (!) A full-page ad tries to convince us the beautiful people (including some dude wearing a MONOCLE) are drinking"Whisky and Canada Dry Ginger Ale" at the Cafe Royal, Regent Street, at 10:30 p.m. (like, in the same glass?), while a half-page airline ad urges travelers to fly via M*E*A Comet 4C to "Lebanon, The Land With Everything," including scantily clad showgirls in "Beirut, the playground of the Middle East." (How's that tourist trade coming along, Hamas, Hezbollah?) The de Haviiland Comet, with four de Havilland Ghost turbojet engines buried in the wing roots, world's first commercial jet airliner, was introduced in 1949 and withdrawn from service after a year, after suffering "catastrophic in-flight break-ups," which can spoil your whole day. Two of these were found to be caused by "structural failure resulting from metal fatigue in the airframe, a phenomenon not fully understood at the time." (The square windows proved to be unwise, as well. The redesigned Comet 4 debuted in 1958 and remained in commercial service until 1981.) Pages numbered 733 through 776, plus the glossy outer wraps. This single issue of the periodical now reduced from $20.
