...clean knockout, with the vanquished being carried off bloodied and limp in view of all, would certainly have been more meaningful. As Nixon himself said last week: "The question is not just winning the primaries. It is how they are won." The spectacle of Nixon whomping Harold Stassen from New Hampshire to Nebraska would hardly electrify the voters. Another possible problem for Nixon is the effect of last week's events on Ronald Reagan's position. The Californian's backers believe that Rockefeller can stop Nixon-something Romney could not do-and thus revive Reagan...
Deeply Disturbed. Even though non-whites account for only 2% of Britain's population, Prime Minister Harold Wilson's Laborites bowed to mounting public pressure and rammed emergency legislation through Parliament to shut off the flood of Asians from East Africa. The British have become increasingly concerned about the thousands of Asians entering the country each month (v. only about 500 a month in former years) as a result of Kenya's intensified job and economic discrimination against them. Under the new law, Britain will admit a fixed total of 1,500 Asian household heads a year...

...with Burgess and Maclean, Gordon Lonsdale and George Blake, Klaus Fuchs and Alan Nunn May, Britain's postwar years have often seemed to be a nonstop series of spy scandals. None of them ever produced the fascination and national soul-searching, however, that have marked the case of Harold ("Kim") Philby, the Communist double agent who became chief of British counterespionage operations against Russia. After four months of coverage by the British press, Philby's remarkable exploits are now the subject of a debate about the nature and value of the British Establishment, the traditional ruling class...
