...always to be leaving on outside assignments. His last position with Time Inc. was that of senior vice president, and in three decades he served in a dozen major functions, including publisher of LIFE and FORTUNE and managing director of TIME-LIFE International. But his interests were broad and tireless, and his death from cancer last week, at 62, brought sorrow not only to his journalistic colleagues but also to his friends in the worlds of government and culture. Condolences included those from a former President of the United States, the former chief of the CIA, the conductor...
...student days, Adolfo Lopez Mateos was a tireless hiker who thought nothing of tramping 35 miles between school and home to visit his mother on weekends. Once he even walked all the way to Guatemala-700 miles-in 36 days. He went on to cover a lot of ground as Mexico's 59th President. Last week, in his sixth-and final-state-of-the-nation address before surrendering his sash of office to Gustavo Díaz Ordaz in December. López Mateos trotted through the impressive record. It took almost three hours, and most of the speech...

A compact 5-ft. 7-in., 140-pounder, he makes a good appearance -particularly when accompanied by his highly photogenic wife Stephanie and their daughters Elizabeth Ann, 20, and Mary Karen, 17. A conservative after Barry's own heart, Miller is an acid-tongued orator with a notable talent for getting under Democratic skins. In fact, Goldwater told...
...Dogs. By a hair, NBC was best, at least at the half, with the Democratic Convention still to be played. NBC owes its victory-confirmed by last week's ratings, which gave NBC a bigger share of the audience than CBS and ABC combined-to the fine and tireless work of its bird-dog reporters. Chasing candidates in hotels and delegates on the floor, walkie-talkers like John Chancellor, Edwin Newman, Frank McGee, Bob Teague and Sander Vanocur always seemed to be in the most interesting places at the most interesting times, in moments of import as well...
