...relatively short reign, Pope John XXIII caught the world's attention in a way that few of his predecessors had. Three times in that period of less than five years, his impact on world events made him a TIME cover subject: when he was named Pope, after he called the historic Ecumenical Council and as Man of the Year for 1962. This week's fourth TIME cover story on the 262nd Pope, based on the reporting of Rome Bureau Chief Robert...
Kennedy's impact on Washington is seen in countless ways. Cigar sales have soared (Jack smokes them). Hat sales have fallen (Jack does not wear them). Bureaucrats show up at work in dark suits, well-shined shoes, avoid button-down shirts (Jack says they are out of style).

...Auto Boom. Nowhere has the consumer's urge to buy-and his use of credit-had more impact than in the auto industry. This year, neat styling, standstill prices and the growing number of overage cars now on the road have combined to spur a love affair between the consumer and Detroit and send the auto industry off on a boom of its own. Of the $48.2 billion of consumer installment credit outstanding, fully $19.7 billion represents automobile paper. The splurge has shattered Detroit's belief that it could not expect to sell anywhere near...
