...disposable income, and is now running at an even higher rate of 7% . Last week, in an effort to attract some of these funds, President Johnson and Treasury Secretary Henry Fowler launched a campaign to sell "Freedom Shares." To be sold only to people who buy regular Government bonds, the new notes will mature in 4½ years and pay 4.74% v. 4.15% and 7 years for a Series E bond...

Michael Anderson directed and Harold Pinter wrote The Quiller Memorandum, easily the best of the lot. But more recently the Bond hacks have begun to get their hands in to the new field. Guy Hamilton, a hack if ever there was one, has directed Funeral in Berlin, a clumsy, convoluted, illegitimate offspring of The Ipcress File in which agent Harry Palmer, again played by Michael Caine, proves a powerful bore...
