...first seeing TIME'S cover picture of Senator Lyndon Johnson, I thought it in good taste to thus pay tribute to a good loser. A few hours later, Johnson's V.P. nomination made it appear that TIME must use a crystal ball to decide such matters. This brought home to me the dilemma that must face the editor in choosing the cover picture for an edition that must roll off the press before the nomination and reach the newsstands after the choice has been made. Senator Johnson's cover picture uniquely demonstrates TIME'S ability...
...beauty was long considered a privilege of the upper classes, to be observed chiefly in the form of ball-gowned aristocrats gliding serenely through the pages of the Tatler and Queen. The British girl of average station wore cotton stockings and shapeless dresses, had the general air of somebody who couldn't care less-and couldn't afford it if she did.

Coolly, Joyce addressed the ball, tapped it toward the cup-and saw it run wide. A quick grin burst across the blonde's broad face. "Oh, boy," she sighed, "that was agony!" By the slim margin of a single stroke-the dinky putt that Joyce Ziske missed-beaming, Carolina-born Betsy Rawls, 32, had won her fourth U.S. Women's Open, adding 1960 to her victories in 1951, 1953 and 1957. No woman golfer, not even the incomparable Babe Didrikson Zaharias,* had done that before...
