Look magazine announced it was cashing in its chips and ending publication on October 19.
Look was a big glossy magazine that competed with Life. It had been respected but by 1971 it was in a steep decline. I can recall my parents, who were subscribers, being both amazed and incensed when it declared in its declining era, that our hometown, Casper, Wyoming, was the "bikini capitol of the world", a rather farfetched assertion.
Japanese farmstead, early 1950s. Not much different, I'd note, from Korean ones of the late 1980s.
Three Japanese police offers lost their lives and many more were injured in a clash with Japanese students over the seizure of 2,663 acres of farmland for the construction of the Narita International Airport. That facility was to serve as a secondary facility for Tokyo.
