TIME'S cover artists often find themselves spending long hours, even days, devising a plan of attack, a theme that will give some added insight to their work. Romare Bearden, 54, had no such problem. Although he was born in Charlotte, N.C., he has lived in Manhattan most of the past 50 years, and he has strong feelings about the expanding troubles of his adopted city. After discussing his first cover assignment with TIME'S editors on the 25th floor of the TIME and LIFE Building in Manhattan, Bearden happened to look out of the window just before...
...promised peace, even though they had reservations about him in other respects. As they see it, Johnson went on to adopt Barry Goldwater's war policies. This time, they see no significant differences between the candidates on Viet Nam.

...plan has the aesthetic perfection of a circle. People in most states of the Union get to vote for the man who is closest to their individual sympathies, and yet achieve a common goal with people all across the country with different sympathies who voted differently. People in Massachusetts can vote for Humphrey without fear of having helped his election to office because the actual choosing of the President will be out of the hands of the voting public...
