...thoughtful volume, entitled The Governance of Britain, will be published in London; it is scheduled for publication in the U.S. next spring. The book demonstrates, in many ways, the caution that marked Wilson's tenure. It offers no explanation, for example, for his abrupt retirement, and the chapter on national security is only one page, ending with the words: "There is no further information that can usefully or properly be added...

He claims Reverend Ralph Abernathy is a "perverted degenerate" with a preference for 15-year-old girls, black activist Bayard Rustin a "homosexual fag," and that the two sons of Tom Atkins, leader of the Boston chapter of the NAACP, were arrested for pursesnatching. The lawyer to whom he said he had shown a transcript of Abernathy's and Rustin's sex trials said last week she has no recollection of seeing the documents, and workers at the NAACP office said they knew nothing of the alleged arrests...
