Half a day after getting his flu shot, an elderly Floridian collapsed in a bowling alley and died. In Michigan, three aged people succumbed. Two similar deaths occurred in Tennessee. By midweek, 35 people-most of them elderly-had died after receiving swine-flu shots...

Former California Governor Ronald Reagan convened his expected press conference at noon E.D.T., then proceeded to stun his party and the nation with the unexpected: his bold, perhaps desperate gamble for needed convention votes by naming liberal Pennsylvania Senator Richard Schweiker as his vice-presidential running mate. By midweek, the word was flowing in by telephone and telex from our correspondents: Reagan had angered conservatives; yet he had failed to attract moderates. His bizarre gamble had not worked.
