...Holt; $4.95), suggests, as do a great many other contemporary British novels in this, the sahib's foulest hour, that the Pax Britannica was kept by boobs, boors and brutalitarians. British Novelist Gwyn Griffin is a onetime army officer in Africa who showed in By the North Gate (TIME, April 20, 1959), that he can turn his major dislike into minor but flawless literary art. Now he returns to the attack with the story of Cecil Spurgeon, a tired, self-pitying status-keeper in a coastal enclave of empire in British East Africa. In 1947 he is a glorified...
Couples who went to the Winter Olympics at Squaw Valley [Feb. 29] found that, after paying $2 to park their cars about a mile from the area, another $15 at the entrance gate, they got to see very little. They could see the opening and closing ceremonies, the championship figure skaters and hockey players perform their brilliant best, only if they had an extra $50.

Late Recognition. After weeks of muted weekend campaigning, Hubert Humphrey started moving fast in Wisconsin, even crossed paths briefly with Rival Kennedy at the Intonville Airport.

They waved private polls indicating that Kennedy could defeat Brown right in front of his own Golden Gate. When Brown's state selection committee met last fortnight to make up a tentative list of delegates, Kennedy Aide Lawrence O'Brien took up a post at a nearby motel. In the final selection, about 25% of tue delegates seemed certain to be Kennedy's once released by Favorite...
...Olympics, decided to concentrate on the slalom, where agility counts more than weight. She contented herself with a respectable twelfth in both the downhill and giant slalom. But right from the start of the slalom, Anne put the pressure on Penny, darted through the first steep, 53-gate course in a blazing time of 54 sec. that put her first and left her U.S. rival dangling in seventh place. Nor did Anne let up on the second course, finishing in 55.6 sec. Hell-bent to save her glory, Penny fell and bumped far down the slope on the seat...
