...BIRTHDAY PARTY, by Harold Pinter, is a 1958 play written prior to The Caretaker and The Homecoming. Party lacks the dramatic sophistication of tone, tempo and themes of the two later plays; yet the telltale stigmata are all here-dread, panic, menace, mocking comic absurdity, the evasive unwillingness of people to level with each other. Except for Edward Flanders, the American cast is often blunt and plodding when it should be sardonic, cutting and athletic, but Pinter nevertheless provides prickly excitement and a tantalizing quota of questions without answers...
...Harold Dobbs, 48, an attorney-restaurateur, served twelve years on the board of supervisors, campaigned unsuccessfully in the 1963 mayoralty race and now presents himself as "the only experienced candidate"-presumably meaning he is the only one who was a candidate once before. An uninspired campaigner, Republican Dobbs has a chance despite a preponderance of registered Democrats over Republicans of 200,428 to 106,158. With Alioto and Morrison diluting the Democratic vote, Dobbs could conceivably squeak through...
Last week it did: an exchange of stock with a per-share value of $35 for each of 5,500,000 Sheraton shares outstanding. Making the $193 million bid was Harold S.

For the time being, at least, Geneen will let Henderson and Boonisar run his 45th acquisition...

There was every reason for last week's annual Tory conference to be a celebration. The Labor Party's economic programs have proved both unpopular and unproductive. Prime Minister Harold Wilson is widely accused of being a cynical and somewhat oily manipulator of power. Tory candidates have swept eight recent local elections, including those for two Parliamentary seats that were once considered safe for Labor. And the latest opinion poll showed a significant swing to the Conservatives, who now trail Labor by a mere 1.9% of Britain's voting public...
