...TIME covers have caused as much stir as the Herblock cartoon on the Oct. 3 issue, showing Nikita Khrushchev and his leather-jacketed gang of "East Side Rockets" prowling a New York street near the United Nations Building. Readers liked it; the subjects were understandably silent. Then last week there came a reaction from Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito, who was shown on the cover as a trenchcoated observer coolly watching from the sideline as K. and gang prowled. Belgrade's Vecernje Novosti (Evening News) carried a front-page picture of Tito and members of his executive council looking...
...mind when he landed in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. There his host was conservative Demo cratic Senator Harry Byrd, who has stubbornly refused to endorse his party's ticket, and all but urged his supporters to vote for Nixon and Lodge. With Byrd by his side, the President looked in on the drab little home at Mount Sidney where his mother was born, attended the annual luncheon of the Woodrow Wilson Birth place Foundation in nearby Staunton.

Nixon inevitably won the most editorial support, though Kennedy was doing better than Adlai Stevenson in 1956. One remarkable phenomenon, on either side, was the qualified enthusiasm. Papers that chose Nixon often did so out of dedi cation to conservative domestic policies more than to any heartwarming tributes to Nixon himself. Kennedy enthusiasts were just as apt to temper their praise with good words for Nixon's policies and his experience...
While Princeton offense and Harvard defense are tops, there are serious flaws on the reverse side of both coins. Princeton's last two opponents have scored three touchdowns each; without Charlie Ravenel (who again will not play today) the Crimson has been able to move but not to score more than one touchdown a game...
