...delighted to see the excellent story on the Churchill-Roosevelt correspondence [BOOKS, Oct. 22]. However, we at Princeton University Press were disappointed that you did not mention that we are the publishers. The three volumes are available for $125 until Dec. 31, after which the price will...
More significant, however, are the Republican gains in the House of Representatives, a marginal 14 seats. In the 1932 elections--the year of the last "realignment"--Roosevelt and the Democrats gobbled up 97 seats. In 1964, the year in which the liberal agenda gained widespread acceptance in the U.S., Lyndon Johnson led the Democrats with a 37 seat surge. More so than the Senate, the House tends to mirror partisan trends on a national level. And this year, the nation stated that it loves its president but holds no allegiance to his party...

In addition, ticket-splitting is increasingly in vogue among voters, and a Presidential ballot does not affect the Congressional one to the impressive degree that it once...

Presidential Spokesman Larry Speakes replied that Reagan "had been pleasantly surprised to find the difference between Kennedy the candidate and Kennedy the President...
DIED. Alice Neel, 84, unconventional expressionist painter who specialized in representational but psychologically revealing portraits (including an occasional TIME cover: Feminist Kate Millett, 1970, Franklin Roosevelt, 1982) of cancer; in New York City. Neel starved during the Depression but eventually partook of the New Deal's WPA assistance. Long submerged in the tide of abstract expressionism, she was rediscovered in the late 1960s, and following a 1974 retrospective at New York City's Whitney Museum had numerous one-woman and group shows...
