...Labor Prime Minister, Harold Wilson has some hard words for British businessmen-who often are indifferent to tax write-offs for new equipment, which, under Wilson's brand of socialism, are as lenient as anywhere in the world.

...sublime (and I'd like to shoot the guy that made the open fifth of the final chord into a major triad); songs of Thanks giving with the longest crescendi since Rossini stopped writing overtures; and a chorus of "Woe unto them that..." that reminds me of the brand of hell fire and damnation I thought you'd only hear when the brothers and sisters got happy in that one story wooden church, the one up the side street back home in Richmond...
