...TIME'S history: putting out a cover story of their own. Their issue, of course, contains the complete Nelson Rockefeller cover story. But the cover is a specially drawn Canadian political cartoon (see cut) straight out of A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Recognizing what he thought was an open spot ahead, Batchelor swerved left at full speed-into the wrong lane and collision course with a bakery truck. But despite Batchelor's invitation, the undertaker declined. The 74-year-old cartoonist survived scalp and face cuts and multiple bruises; his wife suffered a collapsed lung, fractures of the left wrist and pelvic bone...
