Relations between the BBC and No. 10 Downing Street could hardly have been characterized as cordial in recent years. But last week there were signs of a thaw between the Harold Wilsons and "Auntie." First, the PM was featured in a friendly BBC radio interview in which he reminisced about his 25 years in politics. Next day, Mary Wilson was on a program which centers around what to save in case of shipwreck. Each celebrated castaway is allowed one book, eight records and one luxury. Mary Wilson's book: Wuthering Heights. Her records: selections ranging from Faust to English...
Multimillion Call. At Pan Am, Chair man Harold Gray and President Najeeb Halaby were rather chagrined to discover that Resorts had a call on al most 10% of the airline's common stock and could fairly easily become the largest shareholder. Looking into Resorts, they found that it was largely a family affair run by Crosby, 41, and some of his relatives. Crosby in 1958 had taken over the Mary Carter Paint Co. ("Buy One-Get One Free"); he later bought most of Huntington Hartford's interests on Paradise Island and sold the paint-making part...

Checking out a resident's complaint, Police Chief Harold Berrio found an abandoned Volkswagen parked in a lonely wooded area known locally as a lovers' lane. On the windshield was a handwritten note explaining that the driver had run out of gas and would return. A few days later, the Teletype clattered the story of the missing girls and gave the registration number of their car; it matched the number that Berrio had dutifully recorded. The car belonged to Patricia Walsh, but when Truro police went...
Still, the connoisseur can find a few true American eccentrics-people who consistently follow their own' seemingly exotic standards. Eugene McCarthy, who now disappoints many of his former disciples, marches to his own one-man band. So, for that matter, does Harold Stassen. While Timothy Leary preaches drug salvation, Vince Lombardi has mystical visions of football and Howard Hughes eludes the world behind moats of money...
