...Callaghan, economics spokesman in the shadow cabinet, rose in the Commons to express shock at the hardly startling discovery that several large corporations were funneling money into Conservative Party coffers. For their part, the Tories were trying to force Labor to discuss details of its plans for nationalization, which Harold Wilson's men have been deliberately vague about; in the end, Deputy Leader George Brown repeated an earlier pledge to bring steel, truck transport and much urban land under government ownership or control...
Viking princes have claimed the sea as their domain since the days of Leif Ericson, and Norway's debonair Crown Prince Harold, 27, has salty blue in his veins. A deep-water sailor from the age of eight and Norway's kingpin skipper for the past decade, Harald was named by the Royal Yacht Club to represent his country in the 5.5-meter yacht class at the 1964 Olympics. Sailing the Fram III, designed by U.S. Master Draftsman Bill Luders, Harald is rated a good bet for a medal of some sort, but it had better be gold...

Several economists have risen to head governments, including West Germany's Ludwig Erhard, Portugal's António Salazar and Bolivia's Victor Paz Estenssoro.

Pulling all this burlap to threads, he reweaves it into a fabric that is still coarse but made...
...Armstrong's cohorts are an improper Bohemian (Joan Darling) and "an aggressive, successful young lawyer" (Buck Henry), an astringent facsimile of Jack Lemmon with everything pared away but the raging, libidinous core. Together these three spray buckshot at everything from psychological testing to Hollywood sex and suspense to Harold Lloyd cliffhangers and the sacrifice of 5th century Chinese maidens. Occasionally they take time out to paint one another white, or to elude a Sanitation Department truck propelled by murderous impulses. With all its freewheeling eclecticism and formless exuberance, The Troublemaker is finally just funny enough to leave an audience...
