...believe in it. We never have. As TIME'S founding prospectus put it: "The editors recognize that complete neutrality on public questions and important news is probably as undesirable as it is impossible." The events in Chicago offer particularly striking support of this idea. Who struck first, and why, and with what motives, and who offered the provocation and who allowed himself to be provoked-these and a thousand other questions cannot be answered with machine-like neutrality by the reporter's eye and mind; the proper recording of each fact requires a dozen judgments and thus opinions...
Numerous dissidents are putting pressure on Humphrey to modify his views in exchange for their support. Michigan McCarthyites returned home from Chicago and in a subsequent state Democratic convention pushed through a Viet Nam statement approximating the national convention's rejected minority plank. Thus armed, they may now offer to back Humphrey in exchange for a permanent role in the Michigan party structure...
Transplantation of the cartilage that surrounds the bone in joints would offer hope to vast numbers of victims of arthritis and other joint diseases.

In animals, joints have been reconstructed successfully with cartilage left adhering to a delicately sculptured layer of bone, though Gibson is not yet ready to try that approach...
Wider Spectrum. Michael Dann, CBS's senior V.P. for programming, concedes that "the true excitement must come from specials." This year NBC will offer Roberto Rossellini's impressions of Sicily, an original drama starring Paul Scofield, and shows headlined by Brigitte Bardot and Elvis Presley.

ABC will screen about 45 hours of the sum mer Olympics from Mexico, as well as a Truman...
Plessey's Clark could conceivably block the get-together by sweetening his offer to English Electric shareholders. But until terms of the agreement with British G.E. are made public, he will have obviously no idea about how much to raise the ante. An alternative for Clark would be to merge Plessey with another firm, one possibility being Hawker Siddeley Group Ltd., an aircraft and diesel-engine manufacturer. And he can always hope for a miracle, like the government's withdrawing its approval of the proposed merger. In the U.S., the Justice Department would cast the dourest...
