Batman would have attracted nobody but preschoolers were it not for ABC's ingenious promotion efforts. Skywriters emblazoned BATMAN is COMING in the heavens above the Rose Bowl game. Every hour on the hour, television announcements bleated the imminent arrival of the Caped Crusader. Hordes of people who recalled Bob Kane's comicbook creation as well as the 1943 movie serial (TIME, Nov. 26) pushed their toddlers out of the way to get a good look at the TV set. Among other things, they saw a mesomorph in cape and cowl expostulate: "My own parents were murdered...

...Victory or Westminster Abbey!" cried Admiral Nelson at the Battle of Cape St. Vincent in 1797. He knew that in the monumental heap of well-chiseled stone and marble lay the heroes of his nation. An Unknown Soldier from World War I lies beneath the Abbey's roof. In the rear of Henry VII's centuries-old chapel glows a brilliant, stained-glass window reflecting the Royal Air Force's stand during the Battle of Britain.
