...good omen for the political talks still to come. Ike had carefully prepared for its impact. On a cross-country "nonpolitical" tour for the past fortnight (TIME, Oct. 31), Ike generally confined his formal endorsements of the NixonLodge ticket to small gatherings of G.O.P. brass. In public he spoke instead on such broad national goals as fiscal soundness and the continuing struggle for world peace-but left no doubt as to who should score the goals.

Dramatic unity, he feels, should apply to a biography just as much as to a play...
...Instead of "voting against the Defense Department," the Congressman in 1959 voted against what he considered a wasteful Defense Appropriations Bill; in 1960 he voted for the waste contenting himself with the chance to work for a better program in 1961. Instead of voting to cut down aid to "the poverished places," as Stafford charged, Meyer opposed the Mutual Security Program simply because it contained money to implement a policy of sharing nuclear weapons with other countries. He voted, however, for all amendments strengthening economic development programs and promoting International cooperation for progress and defense...
