That last question really steamed me. It refers to a garbled report that panda sex takes place only in "an eyeblink." I thought of asking the bloke how long he and his wife take, but luckily I caught my tongue in time. Instead, I showed him the clipping from London saying that I do quite a bit of preliminary wrestling and light biting, just like Alex Comfort recommends. Except for the gentleman from the Times, who wanted to know my feelings about the Laffer Curve, everybody wants to talk about sex. All that locker-room chortling about my "mission...
...Easton, a neighborhood in Bristol, about 150 miles from Oldham. "Ever such a nice couple," say neighbors. John Brown apparently likes few things better than to tinker with his automobile and, even before the current furor, kept largely to himself. Says a friend: "He is a very polite bloke. I don't think he socializes with a lot of people." Still, the Browns, who live with John's 17-year-old daughter by a previous marriage, are hardly recluses. Before Lesley Brown was sequestered in the hospital for round-the-clock monitoring, she talked about babies with neighbors, but gave...
...Somebody is bound to lose, and to prove it, I'll put up a one-way ticket to Troy, N.Y. against whatever you're doing on Tuesday night.

...Cabinet colleagues complained: "Jim was a pushover for the treasury mandarins. He simply did not have the intellectual equipment to overrule their traditionalist advice." But Callaghan has a shrewd sense of grass-roots opinion, and in the words of one junior minister, he "knows what the ordinary bloke will wear and not wear." He enjoys more union support than other contenders, keeps a firm hand in the party machinery, and has well-placed supporters in key constituencies up and down the country. Says a Cabinet colleague with grudging admiration: "Jim is the nearest thing this country has to a Tammany...
Dale has accomplished his goal, but he is emphatically not a little bloke onstage. Currently starring in Scapino (TIME, June 3), he is the spring season's biggest sensation - over, under, beside, beneath, across, atop and flat on his back upon the Broadway stage. Tall and lanky, he seems endowed with a flamingo's limbs - concave knees; one-legged, plumb-line balance; flapping, winglike arms. Playing the duplicitous Neapolitan servant Scapino involves at least as much acrobatics as acting. At one point he keels over from the edge of a 10-ft. platform, grabs onto a hanging rope...
