...stories and 16 color photographs taken Election Day and evening. Preparations for what Manufacturing and Distribution Associate Director Richard Labich called "undoubtedly the most demanding publication schedule we have faced" began months before Election Day.

Jimmy Carter lost because he failed to define how he differed from Reagan's blatant appeal to human greed and senile values--others who follow in his path will follow him to political limbo. This election was a defeat for the half-baked party Carter hoped to forge, not for the party that Franklin Roosevelt did forge and the one that can emerge strong from this year. If 1980 becomes engraved in history books as a milestone...
