News Review, the television news feature which has been looking back on the events of each week, devotes a special edition to looking back over a whole year.
The contributors to the regular Review are in the studio to recall with film the story of 1958, a story of big news not only in the world but in outer space, and a story that won't overlook the other things that make news in people's memories of the months from January to December.
