Senior Editor Michael Demarest supervised the Nation section story conference, and Chief of Correspondents Dick Clurman deployed his men. Whatever his area of responsibility, each correspondent was looking for the unexpected lead, for the new dimension in a story so thoroughly covered by TV, radio and the rest of the press. Washington Bureau Chief John Steele and Congressional Correspondent Neil MacNeil had roving commissions. Washington's Lansing Lamont covered Rockefeller, and Simmons Fentress stayed with Nixon. At Convention Hall and in the Miami Beach hotels, Los Angeles Bureau Chief Marshall Berges stuck close to Candidate Ronald Reagan; Chicago...
...tens of thousands of words that were filed by the correspondents, a 227-page convention report was organized into book form and transmitted to New York for Cover Writer Larry Barrett and the rest of the Nation staff to coordinate with their own notes. For illustration, British Cartoonist Gerald Scarfe flew from London, and Australian Cartoonist Pat Oliphant took time off from his job with the Denver Post to record their impressions of the convention for TIME...
Events during the rest of the day began to take care of Agnew's anonymity.

After Iakovos went out of his way to praise Greece's past democratic political tradition, the country's military regime ordered newspapers to curtail their coverage of the congress. George Papadopoulos, the strongman of the ruling junta, pointedly failed to show up at the climactic banquet, pleading...
...introduced a Mose Allison song, 'Young Man Blues' saying that it was one of the things they used to do when they were first formed in 1964 and it had led them to music they were now making. Daltrey mimicked his master's voice singing each line with the rest of the group quiet--for Moon, Townshend and Entwistle to erupt, between lines, into inspired instrumental dashes. Towards the end of the song Townshend took over and played lovely near-classic blues spiced as it was with the ever-present Who twist. It is at moments like these, watching...
