...ahead of the competition. At 7:35 p.m., for instance, NBC had 25% of the Connecticut senatorial vote, while CBS had only 15% and ABC 8%. But the commentary of NBC's public-affairs stars, from Huntley and Brinkley to Merrill Mueller, Frank McGee, Sander Vanocur, John Chancellor et al., lacked yeast. Brinkley may have had something when he said that the computer was likely to replace them...
...strike was over. The nation's biggest newspaper, the New York Daily News, hastened back into print. News President and Publisher F. (for Francis) M. Flynn was "thrilled" at seeing his paper "come alive again," complete with written synopses of events in the lives of Dick Tracy et al. that News comic-strip buffs had missed...
Gromyko's attitude was not new, and suggested stalemate rather than crisis.

Most notable sign of Rome's new drift was John XXIII's encyclical Mater et Magistra, which gave papal blessing to socialization that did not deny man's basic right to private property. Last February the Pope asked politically conservative Italian bishops to criticize Premier Amintore Fanfani's "opening to the left." Pope John is no friend of Communism, but he hopes somehow to make it possible for the 63 million Catholics behind the Iron Curtain to preserve their freedom...
