...Senator Everett Dirksen last week had security forces thoroughly check the room in which the G.O.P. platform hearings were being held, he said it was because a similar hearing room at the 1960 G.O.P. Convention in Chicago had been bugged. The nonelectronic "bug" was actually TIME Congressional Correspondent Neil MacNeil, who had ingeniously managed to get firsthand intelligence about what went on in the room. MacNeil was in Miami last week, scouting for more information-and, inevitably, informing New York of the contents of Senator Dirksen's first draft of the Republican platform, which he had somehow managed...
This week, TIME'S principal editors and the writers of the NATION section also flew to Miami Beach to join MacNeil, Saltonstall and other TIME reporters and helpers already on hand. There they found ready for them, in the 1,600-sq.-ft. Jade Room of the Fontainebleau Hotel, a home away from home: a complete news bureau equipped with desks, a battery of Teletype machines, wire service tickers, and a private switchboard with direct lines to key locations in the Convention Hall...

If I wanted to, I couldn't pass it." Congressional liaison men from the White House and legislative leaders of both parties agree that the House overwhelmingly opposes the tax bill. Republican Leader Jerry Ford believes that...
...computers went awry, so did some of the newscasters assigned to analyze their output. NBC's Robert MacNeil, anxious to help fill in the empty minutes, dredged up the results of preelection polls to make a far-out analogy between California's New Leftists who voted for Reagan and the German Leftists of the 1930s who voted for Hitler on the theory that he would soon collapse. In a more jocular vein, MacNeil explained that Democrat George Mahoney had lost in his bid to become Maryland's Governor because such traditional Maryland Democratic voters as David Brinkley...
