WHILE the world waited anxiously for some promise of peace in Viet Nam, Associate Editor Ronald Kriss, who wrote this week's cover story, felt that he was entitled to some extra measure of impatience. The special publishing deadlines of a pre-election issue meant that all stories had to be written and edited at an accelerated pace; the probability of a bombing halt only compounded the need for speed. But Kriss, along with Senior Editor Michael Demarest and Researcher Mary Kelley, were as prepared as possible for the unpredictable. For months, they have been studying every nuance...
When the talks started last spring, it was Kriss who wrote TIME'S cover on Negotiators Harriman, Vance, Xuan Thuy and the North Vietnamese representative in Pans, Mai Van Bo (May 10, 1968). In that story, the big question was: What really brought the North Vietnamese to the conference table?

Suddenly, "the war" no longer meant just Viet Nam. Jason McManus and Ron Kriss, who have written a great deal about Viet Nam, now found themselves writing the cover story and the lead Nation article about the Middle East conflict. In the field, reporting the war from the Arab side proved difficult. For days after Egypt expelled U.S. citizens, no transport was available, so Correspondent Roger Stone was interned with 21 other newsmen in a dingy Cairo hotel called the Nile, where life, as he put it, "was a game of Stalag 17." In Beirut, Lee Griggs, reinforced by James...
...presidential sweepstakes. Thus our editors whipped out their form charts, consulted their ample experience of past races, and sent out requests to our correspondents for the most reliable stable in formation. The result is this week's cover story on the Big Event of 1968. Written by Ronald Kriss and edited by Michael Demarest, the story surveys the entire field of likely candidates, professed noncandidates plus a few dark horses, listing their handicaps and assessing their chances...
