Shortly before his election last fall, Prime Minister Harold Wilson was asked what would happen if Labor won by a tiny majority. "We won't discuss nightmares like that," he snapped. The nightmare came true, and it has had Labor strategists tossing in their sleep ever since. Last week there was more reason than ever for restless nights, for Labor's three-vote margin in Parliament was trimmed to two by the death of Labor M.P. Norman Dodds...
When Foreman Melt Williams announced the verdict after two hours' deliberation, four white spectators distinctly heard him say, "Guilty." But the courtroom was noisy, and Judge Harold Smith apparently did not hear. He requested a written verdict.

It's even getting...

Mr. Lasch intelligently sidesteps the more frequently trodden paths: stories of the dispossessed who mooned in Europe with Harold Stearns, then returned to claim their inheritence with Malcolm Cowley after the Crash; tales of the flagellants who during the '30's stood in awe of greasy Communist bosses and parroted Granville Hick's latest decoctations of Stalin on Proust...
