...predicament of Prime Minister Edward Heath's government last week recalled a World War I cartoon of two British tommies huddled miserably in a crater at the shell-scarred front. "If you know a better 'ole," one says sharply to the other, "go to it." Like the tommies, the Prime Minister badly needs a better 'ole. Heath is faced with a crisis that shows no sign of immediate relief-and threatens to wreck the nation's economy.

All of which poses a question: How can a person leave this or any similar book half unread without feeling the slightest qualm? With a bow to Professor...
...Cambridge exception is the Welles, which continues its cartoon festival this weekend and shows King Kong at the beginning of next week. Look carefully at Kong and you'll see how he sort of quivers even when he's standing still. What you'll be noticing is the result of the animation methods the filmmakers used: it's one of the few ways you can tell for sure that King Kong isn't real...
