Croydon was a good battleground. The electorate covered a wide spectrum: working-class flats, a few affluent neighborhoods, and street on street of red brick houses occupied by skilled workers and low-level managers. For weeks, the big names of all three parties, including former Tory Prime Minister Edward Heath and Labor Leaders Michael Foot and Denis Healey, campaigned hard for their candidates. Although Pitt had earlier refused to stand down in favor of Shirley Williams, he was supported by the S.D.P.'s top team-William Rodgers, Roy Jenkins, David Owen and Williams-as well as by Liberal Leader...
Since Chariots of Fire is an historical film, the love interest, and the American seeming-homosexual, and the stuffy Cambridge master probably did exist. Probably Abrahams did "look Jewish"; probably Liddell did stroll the heath and discuss God with his sister. But truth, as they say, is stranger than fiction; the fact that something happened is no reason to find it convincing on film. And what lacks realism cannot inspire sympathy: thus, disappointingly, Chariots of Fire...
...attack on Thatcher's economics was led by former Prime Minister Edward Heath, who has never forgiven her for the humiliation she inflicted on him when she defeated him as party leader in 1975. Heath insisted that there was an alternative to monetarism: selective reflation and membership in the European Monetary System. Calling the unemployment rate "morally unjustified," he warned that similar disregard for working people in the 1930s had led to dictatorship and war in Europe. "We have now reached the most critical point...
...Heath's blast was echoed by 13 fresh men Tory M.P.s who are known as the "Blue Chips" because of their predominantly aristocratic backgrounds. They distributed a pamphlet titled Changing Gear: What the Government Should Do Next, in which they called for a watering down of Thatcher's monetarism. Far more ominous for the Prime Minister was the lineup of Establishment Tories who are now decrying her economic policies and lack of compassion. Calling monetarism "the uncontrollable in pursuit of the indefinable," Sir Ian Gilmour, who was Deputy Foreign Secretary until Thatcher purged her Cabinet of dissidents last...
Last week the controversy was revived when Donald Heath, a physicist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, reported actual evidence of ozone depletion. His study, based on long-term weather satellite observations, indicated a reduction of about 1% in total ozone volume, with most of the losses concentrated at an altitude of about 25 miles. Though Heath acknowledged that his findings could not be tied directly to the chemicals, he pointed out that there is a suggestive link: calculations have shown that if chlorofluorocarbons were, in fact, damaging atmospheric ozone, the greatest harm would probably occur at about...
