these four names are still the top
four, the staff required to produce to–
day's modern worldwidc mass-circulation
magazine has become too large to
enumcratc herc - 73 namcs. This
includes 6 Associate Editors, several
Regional Editors around the world,
Contributing Editors, Research Staff,
Photographers stationed around the
world, a sizeable and compett:nt Art
Staff, Circulation Managers around thc
world. You'll find them listed on thc

And of course we do not list thc
hundreds of names of employees in our
three largc printing plants in Pasadena,
California, in Radlett, England, and
North Sydney, Australia, where this
magazine is printed and mailed out to
subscribcrs.
Today
The
PLAIN TRUTH makes nec–
essary the maintenance of offices all
around the world, sorne staffed with a
full -time personnel of up to
80
people.
And, in addition, we now publish a
NEW
magazine, edited b}' the Graduate
School of Theology of Ambassador
College, in thc field of Biblical under–
