...Iron Curtain country, and the Hungarians did their best to please. Inside the main camp was a U.S.-style shopping center where Hungarian girls in native peasant dresses hawked rugs, paintings and even antique silverware.

Last week Lord Bearsted hooked a notably big one-to become his own successor as chairman of Hill, Samuel & Co., Ltd., the largest of London's merchant banks in terms of capital, securities underwriting and profits. His prize catch was Baron Sherfield, 62, the former Sir Roger Makins, ex-barrister, able economist, gentleman-farmer, career diplomat and onetime (1953-56) Ambassador...
...women walking about the streets, looking like Eunuchs -waddling like pregnant dachshunds, or as scrawny as ostriches, with swollen bodies, varicose veins, wadded breasts or tight stays hidden under their clothes." The magistrates were greatly offended by Sinyavsky's suggestion that the government might transform human fetuses into fish to provide food for the people.
