...components of the cover story clearly demonstrate another method of illumination: the graphic arts. One is the cover itself, the first for TIME by California Artist Gerald Gooch, who, having once aspired to a career in professional baseball, approached his commission with zest.

His weaknesses are ignored or glossed over so swiftly and uncritically that the Bay of Pigs "setback" seems a mere preliminary bout for the Administration's sword's-point showdown over the dismantling of Soviet missile sites in Cuba. "There were those who disagreed with the President," says Peck. But they obviously don't matter very much...
