...That was enough to set tongues and typewriters clacking. Margaret apparently had a grand time, though, and only Stones Guitarist Keith Richard seemed to feel a little the worse for wear. But then, Richard had reason. Only a week before, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police found 22 grams of heroin in his hotel room and charged Richard with possession for the purpose of trafficking. Under Canadian law, he theoretically faces life imprisonment if found guilty. (Richard also faces a much less serious charge of possession of cocaine.)

Cross of Iron is the story of the German retreat across Russia after Stalingrad; Dog Soldiers revolves around three Viet Nam veterans who become involved with both heroin and the CIA; and The Eagle Has Landed is a fictional account of a German attempt to kidnap Winston Churchill. The towering Tory, a famous old brandy sniffer, would at least like the casting. He is portrayed by the proprietor of the Beehive, a country pub in Kent...
...most touching song is "Sam Stone," about a Vietnam vet who comes back a heroin addict. The gravel-voiced Prine is the man's child, singing: "There's a hole in Daddy's arm where all the money goes," and the effect is chilling...
