...with Growth Stocks. British socialism is more Methodist than Marxist. Its leaders have always had fervent faith that in freedom and social justice Englishmen can build the New Jerusalem of William Blake's vision. It was Britain's hunger for a better-ordered world that swept a Labor government to power in 1945.

...effects of a beautiful girl are swift. It takes about three-fourths of a second to turn a healthy man's head. After that, two minutes of bright and lissome speech can erase the memory of all previous commitments. In some such fashion, Englishmen of every status are falling in love with Julie Christie. Americans will soon get their chance - when a new picture called Billy Liar opens in U.S. moviehouses in September...
