Last week in the House of Commons, Wilson revealed the cautious conclusion: a decision for "a new high-level approach" to the Common Market "to see whether the conditions exist-or do not exist-for fruitful negotiations."

After that, Wilson plans to pay personal visits to all of the capitals of the Six to press Britain...
What fascinates Bacon is the perfect portrait of human tragedy. He resurrects the image of man halfway between life and death like some mad coroner who frames the clotted residue of life.

...hydrogen compounds in its atmosphere 1,000 times greater than the earth's. Those compounds probably include methane derivatives and possibly methane itself-a finding that could be significant because methane, or "marsh gas,"* is produced on earth by anaerobic bacteria, which do not require oxygen to exist. Even if the Martian methane is not produced by living organisms, Kaplan says, its presence along with other hydrocarbons detected in the spectrograms strongly suggests the existence of free hydrogen and a chemical environment from which life could evolve...
Billy Budd marked the beginning and in some ways the end of Chapman's career as a professional playwright. Chapman had written six plays before he showed one to anybody. "I don't think they exist anymore," he says, and he doesn't seem to regard their loss as any great tragedy. He wrote Billy Budd with a Princeton colleague, Louis Coxe. In 1949, it was produced at an uptown off-Broadway theatre. Two years later a second version opened on Broadway to mixed reviews. The play promptly became a cause.
