DIED. W. Eugene Smith, 59, renowned photojournalist whose work strongly reflected his own compassionate nature; after falling and striking his head while recovering from a stroke; in Tucson, Ariz. A native Kansan who began his career at age 14 on Wichita's newspapers, Smith was critically injured on Okinawa in 1944 while on wartime assignment for LIFE magazine. After 32 operations and two years of convalescence, Smith returned to work on a series of memorable LIFE photo essays, including "Country Doctor," "Spanish Village" and "Nurse-Midwife." In 1971 Smith moved to the Japanese fishing village of Minamata to begin...
Republican Governor Robert Bennett, 51, brushed aside two token primary opponents. Even Republicans, however, complain that he does not seem to be much of a Kansan with his beard and his officious manner. He is also under attack for the rise in property taxes.

Both Dole and Mondale boned up diligently for last week's debate. The Kansan spent seven or eight hours a day poring over a 1 ½-ft.-high stack of black-bound briefing books. Dole, who was fighting a cold, readily admitted that he was edgy, though once the cameras blinked on, it was he who seemed the more relaxed of the two. "Conservatives get a little nervous before the battle," he cracked. "Liberals never get nervous. They always vote yes." Appearing before a Tennessee audience, Dole downplayed the coming debate. "If you're not otherwise occupied...
...Boston ever had a quarterback quite like the Kansan. Against the Steelers, he refused to be intimidated by Dwight White, 50 Ibs. heavier, who mocked him after a play lost yardage. A cool Grogan stuck a warning fist into White's back. "Aw, I wouldn't hit anyone," says Grogan. "They're bigger than I am. But I am a little faster, though." A little faster has made a big difference in Boston...
