"Then, above all, in TIME, we find newsworthy articles about the people who are making the news. In addition to those we learn about in our own weeklies, we also find some who are not yet known here. . . . TIME's critical departments, too, are good. Here, they do not go along with the taste of the masses, repeatedly panning 'successful' works. In particular, the literary standards applied to the book reviews make this department very worth reading. If Steinbeck, for instance, writes a mediocre work, he is put in his place, just as an unknown author who creates something special is praised. . . .
"With its easy, current, and relatively trustworthy reportage, TIME is definitely important to us. It lets us live weekly with the events of the great times in which we live—news reports which can help determine the stand we take toward world events. TIME also gives us the viewpoint toward events of the people who may well have in their hands the future of Europe and the world."
