...sponsors have ever got so much mileage out of a single program as the Democratic National Committee is getting out of Jack Kennedy's appearance last month before a group of Protestant ministers in Houston. Kennedy's speech, and the question-and-answer period that followed, were designed to lay the religion issue to rest for the remainder of the campaign. Instead they were being used to keep the Kennedy side of the question alive.

Next morning Khrushchev delightedly awaited his first victory-the vote on the Soviet resolution to debate the colonial question in plenary session. But there were unexpected surprises ahead.

But most reporters insist they know how to separate their own convictions from their reporting, and say that Nixon's assistants are too ready to find real or imagined injury. In Springfield, Mo., after Reporter Potter asked what Klein considered a deliberately needling question, Klein sent an angry protest to Potter's publisher. Klein was also disturbed by a magazine article over the wardrobes of the candidates' wives: he thought the caption, "Pat v. Jackie," should have read "Jackie...
