...dismayed as tiny New Zealand. The prospect that joining the Common Market might force the British to raise their tariffs on Commonwealth agricultural products spelled major trouble for New Zealanders, who import virtually all their manufactured goods from Britain, pay for them with exports of wool, meat and butter. (About 35% of the butter Britons eat comes from New Zealand.) Last week New Zealanders heard more cheering economic news: Prime Minister Keith Holyoake announced that a major natural-gas field had been discovered in Kapuni on New Zealand's North Island...
...State's No. 1 quarterback, James Earl Wright, 22, key man in the Tigers' wide-open attack and the most dangerous back in the South, had been given an afternoon off.

To push a substitute. Ulbricht's regime in 1959 introduced "pony bars," restaurants that sell nothing but horse meat and urge customers to try "stallion steak," "foal filet," "goulash from the harness...
...remaining plays are merely curtain lowerers. Veronique fails to revolve around a problem only writers can care about: Should a playwright write profitable comedies or unprofitable deep stuff? The Way It Was is a timid venture back to Butter field 8 country, intended to be a musical. O'Hara's long account in the preface of why Irving Berlin turned it down is almost as embarrassing as the moraine of first drafts, letters to the editor and encysted insults that Norman Mailer shored against his ruins in Advertisements For Myself...
