Fortunately, they enjoy expert support from the section's head researcher, Dorothy Haystead, who, in her twelve years in "biz," has counseled, comforted and cajoled a generation of TIME writers and researchers. When figures from different sources clash headon, Haystead resolves them by a process of statistical triangulation supplemented by what Senior Editor Church regards as "a very shrewd and savvy judgment." Besides her duties as teacher and statistician, Haystead also prepares the column "Market Week" for TIME'S overseas editions. Not least, her unflappable calm steadies...

...haven't been specific enough. We haven't been sharp, clear, simple and hard-hitting. Take the radio spots. What I need is my voice speaking directly, crisply, precisely. My own preference for television is headon, me talking. To hell with the production business. Now the quality of the campaign has emerged in a clear-cut way. Before it was fuzzy. Now there's a feeling of relief that the fight is out in the open. There's a nice, clean feeling of being in a fight. In New Hampshire, the percentage game deprived...
