Pecked at by unfavorable opinion polls, the opposition Tories and even the once faithful unions, Britain's Prime Minister Harold Wilson has had nothing to crow about for a long time. Last week Chancellor of the Exchequer Roy Jenkins gave him something. Reporting on the balance of payments for the first half of the year, he announced that for the first time since 1962 Britain's income had exceeded the outgo. Said Jenkins, who scarcely seemed able to believe it himself: "We have been paying...
...unions' critics don't know what they're talking about; the unions are not powerful enough." If the unions were really as strong as they should be, he argues, they would be able to enforce production-line peace. That is vital to labor-and to Harold Wilson's Labor Party, whose future thus depends heavily on Feather's touch...
...present tastes, honed to instant violence, it is by no means obvious that Shakespeare outwrote Marlowe. McKellen's Richard is Shakespeare's, full-strength and without eccentricity, a prince refined down to holy innocence, so that London Critic Harold Hobson could write that "the ineffable presence of God himself enters into him." In total contrast, his Marlovian Edward is a performance as hell-inspired as the red-hot poker that, at the conclusion, is used to murder the king by being rammed up his anus...
...more disappointed than Nobel Laureate Harold Urey, 76, when the 55 Ibs. of lunar samples brought back by the Apollo 11 astronauts turned out to be igneous or heat-formed rock, possibly of volcanic origin. Long a champion of a "cold" moon-the theory that it has never had a molten core like the earth's-the University of California chemist sadly admitted that he could have been wrong. The moon, he conceded in the face of the rocks, might be hot, or geologically active, after all. "Poor old fellow," said one of NASA's younger geologists several...
...flights remained stalemated-as does virtually everything else about the two-year-old war. Neither army is able to mount a consistent offensive. Pope Paul, during his African visit, was unable to bring Ojukwu and Nigeria's leader, General Yakubu Gowon, to a bargaining table. Neither were Harold Wilson, Charles de Gaulle or Haile Selassie, who heads the Organization of African Unity, which meets next month in Addis Ababa to discuss...
