Newsweek

Dear Reader:

If the list upon which I found your name is any indication, this is not the first — nor will it be the last — subscription letter you receive. Quite frankly, your education and income set you apart from the general population and make you a highly-rated prospect for everything from magazines to mutual funds.

You’ve undoubtedly ‘heard everything’ by now in the way of promises and premiums. I won’t try to top any of them.

Nor will I insult your intelligence.

If you subscribe to Newsweek, you won’t get rick quick. You won’t bowl over friends and business associates with clever remarks and sage comments after your first copy of Newsweek arrives. (Your conversation will benefit from a better understanding of the events and forces of our era, but that’s all. Wit and wisdom are gifts no magazine can bestow.) And should you attain further professional or business success during the term of your subscription, you’ll have your own native ability and good luck to thank for it — not Newsweek.

What, then, can Newsweek do for you?

The answer depends upon what type of person you happen to be. If you are not curious about what’s going on outside your own immediate daily range of concern…if you are quickly bored when the topic of conversation shifts from your house, your car, your ambitions…if you couldn’t care less about what’s happening in Washington or Wall Street, in London or Moscow…then forget Newsweek. It can’t do a thing for you.

If, on the other hand, you are the kind of individual who would like to keep up with national and international affairs, space and nuclear science, the arts — but cannot spend hours at it .. if you’re genuinely interested in what’s going on with other members of the human race … if you recognize the big stake you have in decisions made in Washington and Wall Street, in London and Moscow…

then Newsweek may well be the smartest small

investment you could make for the weeks ahead.

For just 11c a week, as a Newsweek subscriber, your interest in national and international affairs will be served by over 200 top-notch reporters here and around the world.

Each week, you’ll read the most significant facts taken from their daily dispatches by Newsweek’s editors.

You’ll get the facts. No bias. No slanting.

We respect your right to form your own opinion.

In the eventful political arena, in

weeks to come, you’ll read about

 

JOHNSON – How will government spending for the Great

Society programs affect the nation’s economy?

FOREIGN

POLICY – What settlement is possible in Vietnam? What role for the Buddhists, the army, the Viet Cong?

THE

ISSUES – Our stance toward Red China. Domestic crises

in civil rights, in education, the war on poverty!

What solutions are best?

 

You’ll stay abreast of events on the world scene as the Kremlin bosses cope with unrest in the satellite nations and with Peking’s bid to dominate Red affairs … as Western Europe develops new economic ties and increasingly competes in world markets … and as chaos and unrest seethe up in Africa and Southeast Asia.

You’ll also keep on top of latest developments in the exciting fields of space and nuclear science. Whether the story describes a manned space probe of the moon or the opening of a new chapter in peaceful uses of atomic fission, you’ll learn the key facts — in plain English — from Newsweek’s regular department on Science and Space.

The fascinating world of art will be reviewed and previewed for you in Newsweek. Whether you’re interested in books or ballet, painting or plays, movies or music — or all of them — you will find it covered fully and fairly in Newsweek.

Subscribe now and you’ll read about

international film awards…controversial art shows at New York’s Museum of Modern Art or the great galleries of Europe…triumphant concert tours by famed virtuosos…glittering first nights on and off Broadway…plus revealing interviews with colorful personalities — authors, prima donnas, actors, musicians.

AND you’ll be briefed on happenings in the worlds of Business and Finance (What’s ahead now for steel output, auto sales? How will the market react?)…Education and Religion (More “machine” teaching? Closer interfaith cooperation?)…Science and Medicine (New breakthroughs in cancer and arthritis research?)…Sports and TV-Radio (New higher standards, less violence in both?)
