These meetings, as much as the throngs that turn out for President Kennedy, and the women who clutch at him across the nation's airport fences, are meaningful to this campaign. Political observers can hardly recall when there was such interest in an off-year election. The citizens who turn out are not in a frolicsome mood. They listen intently, take notes, ask questions.

...Graham Hill (TiME, Sept. 28). In a hurry to get home and "get the feed in for the winter," Clark gunned his low-slung V-8 Lotus into the lead at the start, set a new lap record (110.4 m.p.h.), and stubbornly fought off Hill-despite a clutch that failed midway through the 230-mi. contest.

A Ruhr industrialist, who a few years ago entertained foreigners only on formal occasions, now thinks nothing of inviting a clutch of executives from other Common Market nations to drop by for cocktails. West German Electrical Magnate Ernst von Siemens flatly declares that any executive who hopes to rise in his company must first cut the mustard in a Siemens branch abroad. Belgium's Nokin is particularly proud of presiding over the first truly "European" steel company: the big (1.1 million ton capacity...
