...most effective speeches, Wilson spoke of "a Britain full of life and vigor and achievement" after his five years in office. He promised better times to come and compared the Tories to poor-mouthing "Victorian undertakers welcoming a wet winter and the promise of a full churchyard." Labor delegates, who have sat on their hands after some of Harold's sorrier speeches, gave him a two-minute standing ovation, and even the independent Times of London acknowledged his speech as "one of the best in recent years by any party leader...
...return to the casual, off-the-cuff talk as a substitute for the prepared briefing. To begin with, the Army would no doubt have as much trouble disposing of all its audio-visual gadgets as it has dumping its excess nerve gas. More of them, unfortunately, are yet to come. The services have begun purchasing a new computer that briefs automatically without the aid of human voice or hand. At the push of a button, curtains part to reveal a screen, and the show goes on.

But after less than a decade Pop art has not only come of age; it has -such is the accelerated pulse of art movements today-almost become venerable. As a sure sign of esteem, New York's Guggenheim is now holding a retrospective of the comic-strip-inspired works of Roy Lichtenstein, and the saggy, baggy sculptures of Claes Oldenburg are on display at the Museum of Modern Art. The Whitney Museum, not to be outdone, will exhibit another major Pop artist...
