PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, MARCH 7, 1986
PAGE 7
Discussed as a theme for the July-August edition was the unveiling of the
newly restored Statue of Liberty on July 4. Mr. John Halford noted the
interesting parallel of. the statue's problems and the United States'
problems.
He plans to write an article showing that what happened to
Liberty is what has happened to the richest and most powerful country the
world has ever known. America looks good on the outside, but God looks at
Israel through the skin.
Also being considered are plans. to use TV program scripts as the basis for
"Plain Truth" articles, beginning with the July-August issue.
Those
readers of the magazine who are not aware of or don't watch "The World
Tomorrow" would see a regular column placed near the TV-Radio Log each
month titled, perhaps, "From the Telecast," or some other appropriate
title. It would be made clear in the drophead that the article was based
on a text from a recent television program. A TV-style layout would give
the impression that the program was also topical, interesting and worth
our readers' time.
Graphics might include a photo of the man himself on the set, or the title
logo of "The World Tomorrow" from the TV screen itself. The readers would
be directed to the TV-Radio Log at the end of the article. These would be
short one-, two- or three-page articles that would quickly get our
broadcasters in the magazine.

.
"Worldwide News Personal" will appear in the March 10 edition. Mr. Tkach
writes about the "World Tomorrow" telecast and prayer, and thanks brethren
for the cards and letters of support they have given him.
The lead article in the March 10 issue is about Mr. Tkach's March 1 trip
to Phoenix, Ariz., to speak at combined Sabbath services there. The trip
to Phoenix was Mr. Tkach's first visit to a church area as pastor general.
To cover Mr. Tkach's visits successfully in "The Worldwide News" we will
need your cooperation. Just as when Mr. Armstrong traveled to the church
areas, we will be contacting you for information and in some instances may
want you to provide a photographer from your area. We will try to contact
you in advance.
