...small precincts, three "reporters" often found themselves struggling to see over the shoulder of one kind old lady counting votes. It was too silly and needlessly expensive. Last week the three networks and the wire services agreed to set up a joint Network Election Service that will di vide the chores, pool the results, and present the same vote count to a viewer no matter what channel he is watching...
More or less oblivious to these figures, 776 chanting, clapping delegates to the 17th Party Congress in Paris' Latin Quarter heard Party Boss Maurice Thorez describe changes in the party advertised as "revolutionary."
