Always Ahead. Actually, what some Wall Streeters refer to as "the Kennedy market" began at the end of last October, when Kennedy's chances seemed good. Since then, stocks have risen 86 points (50 since the election), regained almost all the ground that they lost in the 1960 late summer decline of 90 points. To date, the post-election gain represents a greater market advance than those that followed the election of Eisenhower in 1952 and 1956, and a reversal of the pattern after Truman's election in 1948, when stocks dipped until...

For the first time, Western correspondents in Moscow were permitted to refer openly in their dispatches to the Russian-Chinese quarrel, were even allowed to quote "well-informed" sources on the line-up of forces within the Red summit meeting. When hollow-cheeked Liu Shao-chi, Red China's titular head of state, delivered a scathing four-hour denunciation of Khrushchev's policy, the varied reactions in his audience clearly revealed the true quality of the dispute between Peking and Moscow. Outwardly an ideological quarrel, it is in fact a fight for power between Russia...
