...second of their quadrennial pilgrimages to the political conventions. Particularly in a carefully orchestrated gathering like the one planned by the Republicans, viewing the events on TV cannot match the chance for firsthand observation. TIME's staff members will have numerous opportunities for face-to-face encounters and candid conversations with key participants. In addition to the reception given by Time Inc. Edi for in Chief Henry Grunwald and the editors of TIME at the new Dallas Museum of Art on the convention's opening evening, a series of on-the-record breakfasts, lunches and coffee meetings...
