National gridlock, the subject of this week's cover story, is a problem for individual travelers and large companies alike. With 18,000 U.S. employees, Time Inc. suffers along with many other firms from the snarls on roadways and runways that bring the nation ever closer to the ultimate jam-up. Gridlock costs billions of dollars in lost productivity, plus plenty of vein-popping frustration. The combination of close confinement, noise and often heat can turn a clogged encounter of the transportation kind into a waking nightmare...
...poll taken for TIME by Yankelovich Clancy Shulman last week, the Vice President had a modest five-point advantage among those likely to vote; other new samplings showed the race even closer. More significant, TIME's survey indicated why voters have refused to go steady with either suitor.

It resembles a battleground that is really a testing ground, bumpy and full of bad breaks. Like youth, the longest shots start to go a little awry, until, like hope, they disappear entirely into the darkness of the day. "Unrecoverable," say the caddies without irony, over and over. "Unrecoverable." On the moonlit night, the golf-course hotel might be Baskerville Hall. From...
