There was even a Home boom, though the patrician Foreign Secretary is as retiring as Hailsham is assertive, and is relatively little known to the public. The most logical candidate, on ability and experience, was the man who would fill Macmillan's shoes mean while: Rab Butler...
...this summer, The New York Review of Books has begun to publish bi-weekly: it is one of the most fantastic mixtures of genius and literary offal to descend on the book world in a decade.

The final nudge is the new fashions. "Last year's girdle won't properly fill out this year's dress," says Executive Vice President Walter A. Schieman of Peter Pan Foundations Inc. And Formfit is feeling its way toward a new kind of falsiefication which it calls "cosmetic corsetry." "Women are tired of the flat paper-doll look," says a Formfit spokesman...
