...with Passion. But even running four newspapers-the Express, the Sunday Express (a separate newspaper), the Evening Standard and the Glasgow Evening Citizen-cannot absorb the Beaver's tremendous energies. Only this spring he took a second wife, the former Lady Dunn, widow of a lifelong friend. He was as excited as the youngest swain. "I am very glad to get her," he said. "It isn't often when you get 84, and find yourself still interesting to a woman." He has just published his twelfth book, The Decline and Fall of Lloyd George. Like most...
...Royal Mail train pulled out of Glasgow one night last week, bound for London's Euston station, 401 miles to the south. Aboard were 70 employees of the General Post Office, locked into twelve maroon-colored coaches, each bearing the royal coat of arms and the royal cipher, E R II. As they sped along at 80 m.p.h., the postal clerks busily sorted letters from hundreds of mailbags scooped up from gantries en route.

...last week's Democratic primary, chose Breathitt by more than 60,000 votes (309,377 to Chandler's 247,661).

In the last 25 years more than a score of rivals have tried, and failed, to match his drawing power. The newest man to make the effort is Glasgow-born Bill Hall, 42, the Examiner's glib former Sunday editor, who unintentionally fast-talked himself into the job by complaining that the paper could not overtake the Chronicle without someone to rival Caen. "It's just like the Army," mused Hall afterward. "You complain about the food...
...Prime Minister's country home, Macmillan started drafting the party's broad, long-term program of social and economic reform. Its theme, said Macmillan, will be "Modernize-not Nationalize." In his fiercest attack on Labor in many months, the Prime Minister charged in a speech to Glasgow Tories that "the Socialists have nothing to offer except old threats supported by sly promises." The Opposition, declared Macmillan, still clings to its "old-hat" view of a socialist utopia, in which "everybody is more or less the same shade of grey." He insisted that under Labor, Britain would revert swiftly...
