...West Germany's Chancellor Helmut Schmidt acidly described Britain as "the poor relative of Europe." He also reminded Wilson that until the oil begins to flow in volume, a nearly bankrupt Britain will be dependent on the support and good will of the Community's richer members.

In the Quincy House Dining Room, December 11-13, at 8:15 p.m. Tickets...
...dear Girl, I thank Heaven that another Fortnight will restore you to me--after so long a separation. My soul and Body have both been thrown into disorder by your Absence, and a Month of two more would make me the most insufferable Cynick in the World...
