...eighth postwar general election seemed from the start to be under a curse. To begin with, there was the humiliating fact that the election had been made necessary by the riots against the U.S.-Japanese Security Treaty that five months ago toppled former Premier Nobusuke Kishi (TIME, May 9 et seq.). Then, as if determined to swing the sympathies of Japan's emotional voters behind the opposition Socialists, a right-wing fanatic assassinated Socialist Party Boss Inejiro Asanuma. But last week, when election workers finished counting up nearly 40 million ballots, elated Liberal-Democratic Premier Hayato Ikeda carefully began...

Anchor Man Walter Cronkite read even early returns in momentous tones, and for a single, steady, unruffled and well-organized performance, he was unbeaten all night. The familiar CBS supporting crew-Eric Sevareid, Douglas Edwards, Charles Collingwood, et al., were smooth, quick and, in the case of Nancy Hanschman, pretty. Conspicuously missing: CBS Oracle Edward R.
