...closeness of the popular vote could not mask the real measure of Jack Kennedy's victory. He was the first Roman Catholic ever to be elected President, and he achieved this without leaving any important scars. He had propelled himself by sheer drive into the Democratic nomination, had rebuilt the old Democratic coalition of Northern big cities and Southern conservatives, outdoing even Franklin Roosevelt in rallying the support of Catholic, Jewish and Negro voters. He had broken all precedent by persuading a nation to make a massive change in its vote when his predecessor's term...
...rest of the world cheered the West German economic miracle. Infinite hard work, self-denial and good direction had put a war-racked people back on its feet; in an exposed sector of the cold war, a trouble spot became a source of strength. Now, with its industry rebuilt and its commerce thriving, how was West Germany using its strength?

...between two able, liberal intellectuals, the Republican incumbent, Clifford Case, and Democratic Kingmaker Thorn Lord (full name: Balfour Bowen Thorn Lord).

Argentine Artist Carybe, who painted the mural in American Airlines' Idlewild terminal (TIME, Aug. 15), has settled in Salvador; Genaro de Carvalho, a leading maker...
Prototype: Idlewild. The most glittering airport showcase-and one of the first to be rebuilt-is New York International Airport at Idlewild, the gateway to the U.S. (an estimated 8,550,000 air travelers this year). Because Idlewild is one of the world's busiest airports (an average of 640 landings and takeoffs a day) and a technological primer of jet age forethought, it has become the prototype and laboratory for many of the world's changing airports. This week ten officials of Aeroflot, the Soviet civil airline, will poke through every nook and cranny of Idlewild...
