...Mother and Margaret went ashore, and the Britannia set course for the Mediterranean, with the children beaming at the rail while bagpipes skirled on the pier. On May 1 the Britannia is due at the Libyan port of Tobruk. There, Prince Charlie and Princess Anne will rendezvous with their globe-girdling parents, Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh...
Bound for Ceylon after an exhausting three-month-long visit to Australia and New Zealand. Britain's globe-girdling Queen Elizabeth last week stopped to pay a brief call on one of her quietest realms: Cocos Islands, a tiny atoll lying 800 miles south of Singapore in the Indian Ocean. In happy contrast to the wildly cheering crowds that greeted her elsewhere, Elizabeth's Cocosian subjects, gathered 560 strong on Home Island, stood in dignified silence as she stepped ashore with her husband. Clad, men and women alike, in sarongs and transparent ceremonial jackets, they waved little Union...
...metropolitan papers last week. What was happening, as an accompanying chart made clear, was that the Post had gained more than 100,000 advertising lines over a year ago, v. a minute gain for Hearst's Record-American, a drop of more than 175,000 lines for the Globe, and a drop of more than 300,000 for the Herald-Traveler. What was also happening in Boston was the hottest newspaper war in years...

His paper has lost 10,500 circulation in a year (latest Post figure: 291,604), against a smaller loss for the Herald-Traveler (combined circ. 331,513) and a slight gain for the Globe (morning and evening circ. 277,318). And while it was true that John Fox had gained ad linage, he did so by slashing minimum rates from 51? to 44? a line, v. the Herald-Traveler's 44.88? and the Globe's flat 55?. The Herald-Traveler still had twice as much...
...after the crippling blows of the war, Britain no longer had the strength to act as a balancer, and in the present state of world politics, with two super states facing each other across a shrinking globe, there is little hope for those who would restore the old system. Many in England have recognized this change, yet until now it has not been reflected in British foreign policy. For although the English have vocally backed recent moves towards a federal Europe, they have paradoxically refused to enter or even actively support such European efforts as the Schuman Plan...
