...tens of thousands of words that were filed by the correspondents, a 227-page convention report was organized into book form and transmitted to New York for Cover Writer Larry Barrett and the rest of the Nation staff to coordinate with their own notes. For illustration, British Cartoonist Gerald Scarfe flew from London, and Australian Cartoonist Pat Oliphant took time off from his job with the Denver Post to record their impressions of the convention for TIME...
Rumors that Nixon was going to pick a liberal as a running mate were everywhere.

The purpose of this, states the preface, is to keep the words from "bumping into, and obscuring each other.
