Last week Roper Research Associates completed a TIME-commissioned poll that gave Johnson 36%, McCarthy 30% and Kennedy 18%. The balance was scattered. The closing days of the contest could well produce different results. But, as of last week, Johnson could take little comfort in the prospects. Though he came out ahead, he trailed his rivals' combined total. On Election Day, it would be a mixed...

Television journalism and sports coverage are getting better, and even commercials are improving; but regularly scheduled programs are still as vapid as ever. Mindless game shows and cheery-teary soapers dominate daytime television. Prime-time TV (7:30-11 p.m.) is hardly more satisfactory.
