...TIME correspondents covering the election across the country last week, the campaigns and the moments of victory or defeat produced some vivid impressions that will stay fresh years from now when they look back on Nov. 7, 1978. Midwest Bureau Chief Benjamin Gate, for example, followed Illinois Senator Charles Percy throughout his come-from-behind re-election battle, and witnessed an extraordinary victory speech. Reports Cate: "Wan and misty-eyed, Percy could not control the trembling of his hands as he read his statement. The tough race had humbled a normally proud man." After Philadelphians defeated a proposal that would...
...Catherine's is no longer quite so remote. Last week hundreds of Israeli tourists stormed the monastery and broke down the gate after the cloister's eleven frightened monks tried to lock them out. The tourists were there to celebrate Succot, a Jewish holiday commemorating the survival of the Children of Israel during their 40 years of wandering in the wilderness. The pilgrims apparently assumed that by this time next year the Sinai would again be under the control of Egypt, and they might be denied access to the site where, according to Exodus, God spoke to Moses...
...ATOM BE A WORKER, NOT A SOLDIER is spelled out in foot-high Cyrillic letters on a wall just inside the main gate of the huge nuclear power complex at Novovoronezh. The slogan seems at first to be no different from the exhortations that decorate buildings throughout the U.S.S.R.

...turnout. Others will focus all their attention on a single issue. Former President Gerald Ford, for one, worries that single-issue interest groups ? for and against abortion or gun-control or environmental regulations, etc.? will increasingly determine election outcomes. He told TIME Chicago Bureau Chief Benjamin Gate that such groups pose "dangerous ramifications for the two-party system." Business associations, he feels, are also becoming too narrowly focused on single issues. The proliferating political action committees, financed by private corporations, unions or associations, are solely concerned with the passage of particular legislation, not with broader party and national...
Peking (pop. 7.5 million) is one of the great monuments of civilization. Off T'ien An Men (Gate of Heavenly Peace) Square, the vastest (100 acres) public plaza anywhere, lies the Forbidden City, now styled the Former Imperial Palaces. This manic maze of pavilions and palaces and gardens is a wonder of the world. Assembled over five centuries by 24 celestially approved emperors and more than a million laborers, the Forbidden City is not only a marvel of space, extravagance and style but also a dazzling repository of art, in gold and silver, ivory and jade. Restored and main...
