...four times before in its 101 years as a daily: the debut of a new editor. To replace shy, stubby (5 ft. 5 in.) A. P. (for Alfred Powell) Wadsworth, who is stepping down at 65 because of ill health, the Guardian will install 36-year-old Foreign Editor Hector Alastair Hetherington, a journalist for only ten years and a staffer...

Harold Scott made a remarkably good thing out of a small part with his pantomimes...
