...believe in it. We never have. As TIME'S founding prospectus put it: "The editors recognize that complete neutrality on public questions and important news is probably as undesirable as it is impossible." The events in Chicago offer particularly striking support of this idea. Who struck first, and why, and with what motives, and who offered the provocation and who allowed himself to be provoked-these and a thousand other questions cannot be answered with machine-like neutrality by the reporter's eye and mind; the proper recording of each fact requires a dozen judgments and thus opinions...
...present soul-searching, a number of other publications have reached the same conclusion. News week, for example, in a thoughtful article entitled "Is the Press Biased?" observes: "Newsmen should be willing to dismiss the illusion that there is such a thing as 'pure objectivity' in reporting." In support of which the magazine quotes Bill Moyers to the effect that "of all the myths of journalism, objectivity is the greatest." Just...
...Cool Command. So far, Nixon has rejected the bait. He is consciously playing the statesman, in cool command of his passions and his party. He is aware that controversial stands would endanger one flank of support or the other. So far, he has succeeded in holding the liberal Republicans who opposed him for the nomination.

He is for the non-proliferation treaty, but against ratification just now?a position that could...
From every indication, Wallace is not exaggerating. A Gallup poll last week showed that millions of U.S. union members are turning to Wallace, with 50% declaring for him in the South, 12% in the rest of the nation. Humphrey's labor support has fallen correspondingly, to only 42%. Since Gallup began surveying union people in 1936, no other Democrat has ever done so poorly with blue-collar workers. There is a good chance, too, that union men-as well as the legions of other middle- and lower-middle-class people at whom Wallace's appeal is aimed-will...
Their reluctance to make it rattled Hubert Humphrey, who invoked his 20-year friendship with Gene McCarthy to ask once again for his support. "It is inconceivable to me that we wouldn't be together when the choice is between Nixon and Wallace and myself," he said. In a brief Washington press con ference, McCarthy merely announced that he would not declare support for any candidate until his return from a va cation on the French Riviera. He added that he would probably not decide to back Nixon...
