FATIGUE is the enemy. All day you watch, all night you write," summed up White House Correspondent Hugh Sidey from Bangkok, after he had spent twelve days following President Johnson around Southeast Asia. The rest of the seven-member TIME team that reported this week's Nation cover wearily agreed. "I have two handfuls of wooden fingers after all this typing," complained Hong Kong Bureau Chief Frank McCulloch, who, along with Correspondent Art Zich, had been in Manila weeks ahead of the summit talks, first working on the cover story about President Ferdinand Marcos (TIME, Oct. 21), then planning...

Instead of the multinational, six-man lunar shot that some observers had predicted, the Russians showed their guests the launch of a radio-and-TV-relay satellite named Molniya (Lightning). About the only clue from the Moscow summit was a negative one: in the list of slogans promulgated last week for the 49th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution, a key phrase was missing. For the first time since 1918, the Soviets...
