...question that pols put to their pollsters is not "Who's going to win?" but "What's bugging the voters?" Polls help candidates to identify their own negatives, and then change those characteristics that voters find unattractive. Taking advice from their pollsters, California Democratic Chief Jesse Unruh peeled off 90 lbs. to reshape his corpulent boss image, and Pennsylvania Democrat Milton Shapp discarded his maroon socks (but lost the 1966 gubernatorial race anyway). Candidates also use private polls to find out where the large and decisive mass of swing voters is located, and then concentrate their campaigning...
Bottled Frustrations. Can De Gaulle win his referendum? If it were to take place at once, TIME'S Paris bureau guesses, despite the wave of protests against him, that there might be enough conservative Frenchmen to give him a fifty-fifty chance.

Churchill's press officers set out to obliterate the fact that the Eighth Army had already won one battle at El Alamein and had the superiority to win others. Moreover, though Field Marshal Rommel was a sick and dispirited man commanding a weakened army, Churchill revived the myth of the invincible Desert Fox so that Monty would have to deal with a worthy foe. Even with the stage so cleverly set, Thompson charges that Monty still fought...
...issue of the Dial. The proper American woman living in Mexico with a dreary husband goes off to the hills in search of fulfillment. Instead, she is imprisoned by Indians of such "terrible, glittering purity" that they ignore her womanhood and sacrifice her to their gods so as to win back the land from the white...
