...friend will have come and gone before the rest of the "boys" arrive. But some of the party guests beat Alan to the scene: Hank, an Ivy-League-looking married math teacher and his lover, Larry; Bernard, a cool black; Emory, a prissy, feminine interior decorator. By the time Harold (the birthday boy), Cowboy (a hustler being given to Harold for the night as a gift) and Alan appear, the flow of liquor has locked all those present into a violent carnival of sadistic-masochistic emotional destruction; no one may leave until he touches the bottom of his soul...

Stern, assistant director of Washington's Freer Gallery of Art, to assemble a comprehensive survey of Japanese master prints and to write an accompanying book...
Dallying Over Demand. Efforts to improve the trade picture have been bungled repeatedly by Harold Wilson's Labor government. After devaluation, Wilson dallied for months over steps to curb domestic demand, which was not only stoking inflation but sucking in imports that Britain could ill afford. The government belatedly imposed a record $2.3 billion of new taxes a year ago and subsequently put new restrictions on bank credit and installment purchases. All such restrictions reckoned without the canny determination of the British consumer, who ran up his personal debt and ran down his personal savings...
