Nixon, who had run a precise and frequently leisurely campaign to avoid mistakes born of weariness, was looking-and sounding-a bit tired. He was making occasional small fluffs, as when he declared his intention to move into "1400 Pennsylvania Avenue." The White House...

Since no adequate color photograph was available, TIME had to settle for a rather innocuous picture of Hitler in khaki. Brooding...
...wholeheartedly to support the Allied cause (if TIME and LIFE failed to sell the U.S. on the idea of material aid, he cabled his editors from Europe shortly after Hitler invaded Belgium, "it probably won't matter much what these estimable publications say in years to come"). He saw that World War II marked the end of an uncertain, isolationist period in U.S. life-he called it a shameful period-and realized that it also marked the beginning of global U.S. influence, which he welcomed in a famous LIFE editorial entitled "The American Century...
