Once the cover story was scheduled, Saporiti and Gavin Scott, who is joining the Madrid staff after a three-year stint as Buenos Aires bureau chief, went to work. Over the next several weeks, together with the bureau's Jean Bratton, they covered the countryside, interviewed scores of Spaniards, high and low, to get a wide-angle look at the new Spain. For two weeks they were joined by Writer John Blashill, who was TIME'S correspondent in Madrid for four years (1956-60). To catch the visual aspects, Senior Editor Peter Bird Martin, who handles color projects...
...Loeb Experimental Theatre did an excellent job of production. The cast, headed by Peter Rousmaniere, Peter Morin, and John Mercer, all performed well, and occasionally with excellence. The minor flashback characters were good in spite of the brevity of their parts, with Farrell Page becomingly wistful in her short stint as The Banker's Beautiful (but now pregnant) Daughter.

...after a stint as editor of the New Republic, Wallace was wooed and waylaid by the hard-eyed opportunists of the Progressive Party. Though never a Communist himself, he accepted Communist help, he said, because "I will not repudiate any support which comes to me on the basis of interest in peace." But from the start of the campaign it was plain that the Progressive leadership was interested solely in exploiting Wallace's popular appeal. They had a willing figurehead. As Wallace stormed across the land, condemning the Marshall Plan, aid to Greece and Turkey, and U.S. resistance...
