 Russian Drive Cited
 The massive Red drive which cleared Russian soil of Nazis was the next most important story of the year.
 The death of Wendell L. Will kie, the Republican 1940 presi- dential nominee, in October on the eve of elections was the third domestic story to rate in the first ten. Willkie had taken the stump early in the year but was re- buffed so positively in Wiscon- sin that he retired voluntarily from the race. His death occur red before he had supported ei- ther candidate and speculation as to what he might have done be- came an important element in the campaign.
 The dramatic Balkan crackup was voted tenth place. Primarily Romania quit the war Aug. 23, Bulgaria Oct. II and Greece was completely liberated shortly thereafter by the British.
