...will get Mr. Wilson by the ears before long." It took more than a year, but Hill's Hardy Spicer, Ltd., car-parts manufacturing company in Birmingham, did at least get Britain's Prime Minister Harold Wilson, 49, by the tongue a bit. Wilson's counsel appeared in London's High Court of Justice to deliver a handsome apology from the Prime Minister after he was charged with "libeling and slandering" Hill during the 1964 general elections campaign by suggesting that the Hardy Spicer management had fomented a strike at its plant in an attempt...
