The title excerpts in the featured sections of New Magazine Theme 640 are truncated in order to make the excerpts fit neatly into the reserved space. If you prefer to increase the title length or use the full titles then you need to make the following  changes:

Open and edit

includes/featured1.php

To increase: change both instances of 75 to a higher value

if(strlen($thetitle) > 75)
{
$thetitle=LimitText($thetitle,10,75,"");
$thetitle.="»";
}

To use full title:
Replace entire block that looks like
<?php
$thetitle=get_the_title();
if(strlen($thetitle) > 75)
{
$thetitle=LimitText($thetitle,10,75,"");
$thetitle.="»";
}
echo $thetitle;
?>

with

<?php the_title()?>

There are 3 places in featured1.php where you will have to apply the same change if you want to increase the text length for all the titles. To change the others look for and change
$thetitle=LimitText($thetitle,10,25,"");
$thetitle=LimitText($thetitle,10,40,"");
