...brisk raid into fresh Nixon territory last week, New York's Governor Nelson Rockefeller whirled through seven states in seven days. Purpose of the expedition to Indiana, Missouri, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Texas and Florida: to test the political climate in the heartland before deciding early next month whether to make the race against Vice President Richard Nixon for the Republican presidential nomination. General finding: predictable coolness from the professionals, enough spontaneous warmth from amateurs and scattered Nixon dissidents to convince an energetic, personable Nelson Rockefeller that he might have a chance in the primaries if the voters could know...
...major foreign-policy speech in Milwaukee last week, Rockefeller did not sound so much like Winston Churchill as like a man looking for a fresh image.

Such belated measures as rationing meat and importing 20,000 tons of Soviet beef had not ended the meat shortage (TIME, Oct. 12), and last week, as the crisis got worse, Communist Boss Wladyslaw Gomulka and his ministers were trying every desperate trick. They convicted 101 official state slaughterers of black-marketing...
...splashed all over Page One. It made vivid reading: the ordeal ("I didn't know which was worse, the horrible crawl across the yard or the swamps, the muck and the rocks"), the ride to Havana in a farmer's truck, the friend there who supplied fresh clothing, the hideout at the St. Johns...
