...constitution, including that of some 200 pivotal appointments. Would G.O.P.-appointed Territorial Governor Mike Stepovich (TIME, June 9) make the grade at the polls? He is popular enough even though Alaska is Democratic-minded. But if he fails, he can find comfort in his oft-repeated words of the past: "My hope is that I will be the last appointed Governor of Alaska." He is that...
...smoothly and quietly as to be barely detectable, the U.S., over the past three or four months, has considerably modified its policy on willingness to try for a workable agreement with Russia on ending nuclear weapons tests. U.S. policymakers were solidly committed to one disarmament package: tests could not be stopped unless nuclear-weapons production was simultaneously stopped and conventional arms were cut down.

False Addresses. While the Household Board worked away at its list, Japan's major newspapers set up "special sections" of 30 to 170 staffmen to pry out the favorites. The papers knew that all the eligible girls would be past or present students at the Gakushuin, the Tokyo peers' school. Armed with pocket cameras, reporters followed girls to school, trailed them when they went home at night. One paper smuggled a woman reporter into the school disguised as a student. Another tried to get a list of all girls enrolled-something that is by tradition kept secret...
