...BANNER HEADLINE in The Crimson early in the Spring of 1970 set the tone for April and May that year. It read, "The Left Kicks Off Its Spring Offensive," and regardless of its journalistic propriety, it was not far off the mark. At that juncture, there was no doubt that with the passing of winter, activism would return to college campuses...
Wide World is a rotating sequence of four formats-a week each of Jack Paar, Dick Cavett, comedy and mystery, with two nights of rock music thrown in as a fillip. The package includes just about everything, it seems, but trained seals beating out The Star-Spangled Banner on the xylophone. Its first six weeks have ABC executives glowing-and crowing.

The flags often in fact became targets for the competing troops, and a villager's choice of which flag to fly was sometimes fatal...
...precise. It is the near future. Britain's entry into the Common Market has proved an economic disaster. In order to save the nation from bankruptcy, Her Majesty's government joins the U.S. in a partnership called USUK. The Union Jack is blended with the Star-Spangled Banner to form one flag. With the Queen as coruler, the President of the U.S. will govern from the White House and Buckingham Palace. Minor injury follows major insult. When gum-chewing, libidinous Marines land to ensure "an orderly transition of power," they shoot a farm dog and rough up farm...
