Monday, Nov. 07, 1960
TO climax this year's election coverage (which has included twelve cover stories on important political figures), TIME will print the first extra edition in its history: a separate 16-page issue containing a full analysis of national and state election returns.
The extra will go to press as soon as the results are complete enough to provide a coherent analysis, will reach most U.S. and Canadian readers before the weekend. The regular TIME issues preceding and following the election extra will come out as usual.
Most copies of the extra will reach U.S. and Canadian subscribers by Thursday, Nov. 10, but because U.S. post offices will not deliver mail on Friday the 11th, Veterans' Day, some copies will be delayed until Saturday. The extra will be mailed free as a bonus to subscribers, will be sold on U.S. and Canadian newsstands for 10-c-
Readers of TIME Atlantic, TIME Latin America and TIME Pacific will receive the extra as a bonus, bound into all subscriber and newsstand copies of the TIME issue dated Nov. 21. Because of international mail-delivery schedules, it would be impossible to get the extra to foreign readers earlier.
Unless this year's presidential election is so close that final results are still unknown the morning of Wednesday the 9th, the TIME extra will be on the presses that afternoon. But no matter when final returns are in, the TIME extra will be the first magazine to reach readers with a full review of 1960s election results.
FEW TIME covers have caused as much stir as the Herblock cartoon on the Oct. 3 issue, showing Nikita Khrushchev and his leather-jacketed gang of "East Side Rockets" prowling a New York street near the United Nations Building. Readers liked it; the subjects were understandably silent. Then last week there came a reaction from Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito, who was shown on the cover as a trenchcoated observer coolly watching from the sideline as K. and gang prowled. Belgrade's Vecernje Novosti (Evening News) carried a front-page picture of Tito and members of his executive council looking at the Oct. 3 cover--and really breaking up (see cut).
