...Washington last week, Britain's Prime Minister Harold Wilson accomplished one miracle-he made President Lyndon B. Johnson look like a fashion plate. As newsmen crowded into Johnson's White House office they found Wilson slouched on a couch by the fireplace, pipe in hand, wearing a wrinkled dark grey suit, greyish socks, brown shoes, and a tie colored a muddy green...
...certainly looked like the Governor. But then the Governor would hardly be galloping barefoot, in pajamas and bathrobe, through the streets of suburban Des Moines at 6 in the morning. Or would he? Wearily, Iowa's Democratic Governor Harold Hughes, 43, explained that Mike, his Irish setter, had escaped from the house, and he had given chase-naturally-so as not to violate the city ordinance that prohibits dogs from running loose.

British Prime Minister Harold Wilson, whose financial policies are in large part being dictated by international bankers, has bitterly condemned "the archaic limitations of our international monetary machinery." Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon felt so strongly about the matter that in his farewell statement two weeks ago he said: "The greatest financial challenge is to work out changes in the international monetary system." French Economist Jacques Rueff, who influenced Charles de Gaulle's call for a return...
