...took a proprietary pride in covering their home town. Herald reporters dogged Richard Nixon's footsteps. And where they could not follow, a tape recorder did. A helpful delegate carried one in his pocket to Nixon's meeting with some Southern delegations. The results made the biggest scoop of the week. Nixon assured the Dixie politicians that he had given only grudging support to the federal open-housing law, and felt such matters ought to be left to local decision. He would appoint "strict constitutionalists" to the U.S. Supreme Court. The thrust of his remarks seemed to indicate...
...Kennedy stood on his convertible's hood with his Irish cocker spaniel Freckles at his feet. At Mt. Vernon and North Champion Avenues in the Negro Near East Side, friendly crowds engulfed the car. Admirers fell over each other and into the motorcade's path; Kennedy aides had to scoop children from harm's way. One mother plunked her baby on Ethel's lap, trotted alongside for ten blocks while Ethel held the child. At one point, Bobby, his shirttails flying, his hair mussed, his cufflinks gone,* was hauled off the car bodily and had to be dragged back from...
...green. At home, wearing tattered white sneakers, baggy pants, a turtleneck jersey and a shaggy haircut, he romps with his four children-Elizabeth, Michael, David and Miranda-or plays in a recorder group with Mary.

On a summer morning, he can go out to his small garden and properly cultivate a nice crop of lettuce. Almost any day he can get into his dented 1963 Corvair, drive down...
Last week Collingwood and his film arrived in New York City. What he had to tell about was eight days in North Viet Nam-the first visit by a U.S. network correspondent during the war-and the story of his scoop concerning Hanoi's willingness to start talks in Pnompenh (TIME, April 12). Part of his report was rushed onto the Cronkite supper-hour news last week; his footage was edited into a 60-minute special scheduled for this week...
...premature publication of the Versailles Treaty in 1919 was one of the greatest scoops in the history of journalism, and more important: it resulted in the defeat of President Wilson's plans and "broke his heart." However, credit for this scoop should go to Spearman Lewis, managing editor of the Paris edition of the Chicago Tribune, and not to my close and dear friend, Frazier Hunt, who died recently [Jan. 5]. Hunt was asked by Lewis to take the treaty to Chicago, and Hunt smuggled it through customs. Lewis negotiated for weeks to get the treaty, and pledged...
