...cover. The first was Massachusetts' Senator John Kennedy, who was spotlighted as the front runner on Dec. 2, 1957. As campaign talk heated up, we took a cover look at the whole field of Democratic hopefuls (Nov. 24, 1958), then a closer look at Candidate-to-be Stuart Symington (Nov. 9, 1959) and Candidate Hubert Humphrey (Feb. 1, 1960). Adlai Stevenson's last individual appearance on the cover was on the issue of July 16, 1956; he was among the hopefuls of November 1958. The leading personality on the Republican side of the 1960 ticket-Richard Nixon...
...never forgive Kennedy for his role in passing the 1959 Landrum-Griffin labor-reform bill (called Kennedy-Landrum-Griffin in the UMW Journal). And West Virginia's freshman U.S. Senator Robert C. Byrd, a strong Lyndon Johnson man, announced openly: "If you are for Adlai Stevenson, Senator Stuart Symington, Senator Johnson or John Doe, this primary may be your last chance to stop Kennedy.

If Kennedy falters, Johnson is prepared to make an end run at the convention (Candidates Symington and Humphrey don't even figure in the calculations). Again, like the other hopefuls, he has a potent candidate for Vice President: Jack Kennedy. "I can see it now," says an aide. "He'll be standing there in the hotel room after the nomination...
...issue of religion threatened to shake the Democratic boat (TIME, April 18), sink the two presidential aspirants whom Stevenson supporters might find acceptable-Massachusetts' Kennedy and Minnesota's Hubert Humphrey-and buoy up those whom they like least, Texas' Lyndon Johnson and Missouri's Stuart Symington. And Stevenson, who long ago had planned to be away during the Wisconsin battle, was unscarred and obviously available...
