...generation. Not since 1940, when 13 men won votes on the first ballot and Wendell Willkie only managed to nail down the nomination on the sixth, have Republicans been confronted with so wide open a race. Moreover, when the convention comes to order in Miami Beach on Aug. 5, the field may well remain as crowded as it is right now. The likelihood then is for a "brokered" convention-one in which nobody has enough strength to win until after protracted private horse trading. "Nobody is so far ahead that he can't be beaten," said a Republican state...
...After reading your review of Bonnie and Clyde [Aug. 25], I had to write to you. I can't remember being as upset with anything you've written about films as I am with this unjust, unfair and just plain unkind rap at one of the finest films ever projected on the American screen. The production, technique, the performances and the direction, the whole attitude of what a film should be is there to see and understand. Why don't you people stick to writing about politics and, I might add, try reviewing some of the politicians...
...Moving agrees, points to Eero Saarinen's St. Louis Gateway Arch and the new Picasso in Chicago (TIME, Aug. 25) as evidence of the trend toward monumental sculpture.

...people bother to count up the sportsmen who have been unbothered by the jinx. They were chosen for their excellence and they continue to display the qualities that put them on the cover. Latest on that long list is Yachtsman Bus Mosbacher, who appeared on the Aug. 18 cover. After Bus sailed Intrepid to four straight victories over Australia's challenger Dame Pattie, we learned that his crew had hung copies of the cover portrait belowdecks. With proper nautical aplomb, they sailed right into the face of the cover-jinx myth...
...Deputies by 1973. - >Allowed the Right Rev. James A. Pike to speak in sessions of the House of Bishops, a privilege not accorded to a resigned bishop. Pike, who is expected to have a few things to say when the House takes up the question of heresy trials (TIME, Aug. 25), was undisturbed by the fact that he will not be allowed to vote. "I don't care about that," he said airily, "because we don't decide many things around here by a ingle vote." >Tried out, before a massive congregation of 6,000 Episcopalians, an experimental...
