Last week Prime Minister Harold Wilson filed suit against an American-owned newspaper that is distributed but not published in Britain-the International Herald Tribune, edited and printed in Paris. The offending column, written by Flora Lewis, appeared the same day as an unrelated wire service story reporting that Wilson had won an out-of-court settlement from The Move, a rock 'n' roll group. To promote a new record, the group had circulated a postcard showing Wilson nude on a bed with a woman labeled "Harold's very personal secretary." Wilson won an apology plus more...
Deserved Contempt. The Lewis column over which Wilson sued did, in fact, take a lot of liberties. It appeared under a headline reading THE OTHER WOMAN IN THE LIFE OF HAROLD WILSON, with a picture of Wilson, Mrs. Wilson and his personal political secretary, Mrs. Marcia Williams. Miss Lewis wrote that "during the Profumo scandal, the Tories' Quintin Hogg nearly brought the House down when he tried to defend Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, saying he didn't understand the fuss about Profumo's private life, since there were 'adulterers on the Opposition front bench.'

Dacey's lawyers appealed, but last October New York's Appellate Division upheld the lower court. In his lone dissent, Appellate Justice Harold A.

He also found time to co-author a book on Training the Local Announcer. Gould then spent two years as assistant to B.U. President Harold Case, learning some of the subtleties of running 15 schools within the university-a handy foretaste, in miniature, of his S.U.N.Y. job. Eventually he decided that he did not want to "always be a No. 2 man," and in 1954 accepted the presidency of Ohio's Antioch College...
...school in Fresno; he rose to be a director at 32 and senior vice president at 38. Though many oilmen had tagged him as a future president, Davies and Standard parted company after his wartime service as Deputy Petroleum Coordinator under the industry's old scourge, Interior Secretary Harold Ickes. Davies then founded American Independent Oil Co. (he has since sold his interest in it), later bought control of American President Lines and San Francisco's Natomas Co., which dredges for gold in the Peruvian Andes, owns chunks of industrial land near Sacramento, runs a West Indian...
