...Engine Co. i Firehouse at Pocantico Hills, N.Y., the village polling place. Rockefeller bought the place some time ago to save it from foreclosure, then let the firemen have it. "How do you feel?" somebody asked. "Great!" said the Rock, 50, and he looked it-chunky, electric, tired but tireless. Way behind entrenched Democrat Averell Harriman at campaign's outset, he was now rated 9 to 5 favorite. "I've done the best I could," said Rockefeller. "Now it's up to the public, the way it should...
GREECE REJECTS CYPRUS TALKS, Said the headlines. All of NATO Secretary-General Paul-Henri Spaak's tireless efforts (TIME, Nov. 3) to gather a conference to settle the three-year-old Cyprus dispute between Britain, Greece and Turkey fell apart last week. The Greek government, which dares not show itself more conciliatory than Cyprus' bearded Archbishop Makarios, said...

His proposed measures for licking the recession would have cost the country $23 billion by G.O.P. estimate and $8.7 billion by his own (he says his other waste-cutting, tax-loophole-plugging bills would more than make up the deficit). Reason No. 2: The G.O.P. managed at its state convention last May to paper over...
Yovicsin's first year has been a remarkable one. He survived the tireless battery of questions from the local press, the scepticism of many, a discouraging wave of injuries which resulted in something of a "jinx" year for the football team, and the demands made from both the Ivy Towers and the clubrooms. Yet he can still smile shyly from behind his desk in the Indoor Athletic Building and say honestly, "I'm certainly looking forward to next year...
