Smuggled Remembrances. This week Speer's memoirs, after three years of polishing and editing, will be published. British Historian H. R. Trevor-Roper once said that Speer's would be the only Nazi memoirs worth reading, since he was the brightest of the group and the only man at Nurnberg who felt any sense of guilt. "I wrote this book primarily for the younger generation," Speer told TIME Correspondent Peter Range. "I intended it not only to portray the past but to warn about the future."

Harris' work has been distinguished by a high degree of accuracy and insight. Having studied public opinion with the Elmo Roper organization and then founded his own firm in 1956, he came to national prominence as chief polltaker for John Kennedy.

...bread and butter is still a tasty dish. Humphrey could find little consolation, however, in the 1948 Truman victory he is trying to emulate. According to a Gallup poll released this week, Humphrey trails Nixon by 15 points, 43 to 28. At roughly the same stage in 1948, a Roper poll showed Truman only 13 points behind the aloof and confident Dewey. Humphrey should know better than to trust the 1948 analogy anyhow. As an incumbent President, Truman commanded immense resources, as well as a strong and widespread, if quarrelsome, following. Humphrey has neither the resources nor a broad constituency...
...dimensions of 1948, when virtually every opinion sampling was ushering New York's Thomas E. Dewey into the White House. Twenty years later, the memory of that year sends shudders down the spines of all pollsters. One pollster called last week's results "a fiasco." Another, Burns Roper, observed: "If this statement of 'open lead' for Rockefeller is construed by readers as being designed to influence the outcome of the Republican Convention, it will be most unfortunate, both for the political process and for the public-opinion polling profession...
