...unpredictable. After the almost endless series of ups and downs in the fortunes of the candidates and the increasingly terse infighting, the convention promised to turn into the bitterest G.O.P. battle since the Goldwater right-wing triumph over the moderates in 1964. TIME made careful plans to cover every step of the chancy action in Kansas City, from the expected struggles over the platform to the final vote of the last uncommitted delegate on nomination night. All of the Nation section's editors, writers and reporter-researchers, led by Managing Editor Henry Grunwald, are not only attending the convention...

Although less sweeping than leftists and moderates had hoped, the decree could affect more than half of the 1,600 Spaniards who have been imprisoned for political crimes or have otherwise been penalized for illegal, quasi-political acts...
...next step, to be taken after next week's Republican National Convention, is for lawmakers to meet in a conference committee where they will attempt to reconcile the many differences between the Senate's new bill and the one already passed by the House. Speculation in Washington is that many of the Senate bill's provisions will not make it into the final version...
