Senator Kennedy's platform is a far more subtle, and far more interesting document. Inevitably, it contains the dreary platitudes, the extravagant promises, and the baseless accusations at the opposition that the tolerant convention watcher has learned to expect. It reflects at the same time something of which many of the delegates to Los Angeles may not entirely have been aware: the genuine dissatisfaction of their party's intellectuals with the torpor in their society...
...nearly eight hours, from 7:30 p.m. to 3:20 a.m., Nixon had huddled with New York's Governor Nelson Rockefeller at the Rockefeller apartment on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue. From that meeting emerged a history-making document: a Rockefeller-Nixon policy agreement, soon dubbed the Treaty of Fifth Avenue, that changed the course of the Republican Party for the 1960s, and perhaps beyond...
Posture for the '60s. The statement was a Rockefeller document, couched in the language of Rockefeller writers, quoting many phrases, sentences, even whole sections, from the one-man platform that Rockefeller had submitted to Chuck Percy two weeks before (TIME, July 18). Main provisions: FOREIGN POLICY. Nixon accepted Rockefeller's pet proposal for regional "confederations." DEFENSE.

Along with his orders, Red Raborn got a letter, a blunt, forceful document which was a rarity in the annals of the Navy, signed by the CNO himself. "If Rear Admiral Raborn runs into any difficulty with which I can help," wrote Admiral Burke, "I will want to know about it at once, along with his recommended course of action ... If more money is needed, we will get it. If he needs more people, those people will be ordered in. If there is anything that slows this project up beyond the capacity of the Navy and the department, we will...
...Party platforms have traditionally been ramshackle structures-ill-assorted odds and ends of lumber loosely nailed together by cautious, compromise-minded committees. By comparison, the 1960 Democratic platform, grandly entitled "The Rights of Man," is a well-made document: straightforward, clear, brief and-as platforms go-probably the most coherent blueprint for Utopia ever to come out of a convention. As such, it reflected not only the promises of the candidate but the leanings of its principal architect: Platform Committee Chairman Chester Bowles, 59, Congressman from Connecticut, prospeous ex-adman (Benton & Bowles), Harry Truman's best-known Ambassador...
