...second time in its history, TIME this week is sending two editions onto newsstands and into subscribers' mailboxes across the U.S. and Canada. The regular issue, dated Nov. 6, has Philadelphia City Planner Edmund Bacon on the cover, and features-along with all the other sections-a comprehensive story and eight pages of color pic- tures in MODERN LIVING on the dramatic progress of urban renewal in the U.S. That issue went to press some 60 hours before the polls opened for the presidential election of 1964 and was delivered on the regular schedule...

...over the place-putt-putting up and down San Francisco's hills, snaking doctor, lawyer and merchant chief through the thromboid Los Angeles freeways, threading Chicago's Loop at rush hour, beating the parking problem on Manhattan's Madison Avenue. In suburbs, they bring home the bacon and buzz off to the neighbors. In hunting country they go camping and trail-riding. On campus they go on dates and even (when it rains) into dormitories. West Coast beaches have been swarming points for these polychrome mosquitoes all summer long...
