...wealth produce were no longer able to enter duty-free, might possibly be mitigated if the E.E.C. allowed Britain to maintain a set of preferential tariffs for Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. But such preferences subvert the very idea of a Common Market, and France in particular will be content with Britain's joining only if it joins unequivocally...
...material prosperity--implying rather crassly that if everyone were well-to-do, everyone's antagonism would disappear. This line has, of course, lost much of its appeal since Selwyn Lloyd's austere economic reforms, and Mr. Macmillan (who has grown vaguer and vaguer in the last two years) was content at the Brighton conference to substitute for "prosperity" a few irritating cliches about a "unified Britain...
Since he was 14, Anka has written some 200 songs, picking them out on guitar or piano. In fact, since he composes more tunes than he can profitably record himself, he writes for other singers as well (Patti Page, Bobby Rydell, Connie Francis).

When a writer not known to have been guilty of science fiction sets his novel in the 1970s, the reader knows that a message is coming, probably on wings of allegory. British Novelist Angus Wilson, who has until now been content to annotate skillfully the thesis that people are unbelievably nasty (Anglo-Saxon Attitudes), sets the time of his new novel halfway between now and 1984, and the place is the London Zoo. Only a Symbol Simon could fail to read a message here...
