"You don't have to read it all, but it's nice to know it's all there," goes a radio ad for the New York Times. Not necessarily—at least not for Margaret Fishback, a Manhattan ad copywriter and author of light verse (TIME, June 28). Contemplating her 7-lb., 16-section, 739-page edition of the Sunday Times, Miss Fishback finally sat down and dashed off a few heartfelt lines of protest to the editor, which the Times dutifully printed two Sundays later, right next to the 200-page magazine section's table of contents.

I'd pay a little extra for

A whole lot less, instead of more

And more and more and more to read.

For more is what I do not need.

"We aren't sure when we will have the wedding," said Nancy, 22 and an English and political science graduate of the University of South Carolina. Said her 66-year-old fiance: "She's very smart. A straight-A student."

Though he made his reputation as a platform personality. Elvis Presley hasn't appeared before a live audience in nearly a decade. Instead, he's been cutting records and cranking out as many as three movies a year at an average of $1,000,000 each. Now the arithmetic has changed, and Elvis will be turning them on live in the future. "It's more profitable than movies," says a spokesman, explaining that $100,000 per concert is not out of line for a man of Elvis' talents these days. Thus a concert a week for ten weeks equals $1,000,-000—compared to the 15 work-filled weeks it takes to make a movie for the same price.
