Sanitation's Sake. Needless to say, they hadn't thought of it-and when they did, they were appalled. "Women and women's stockings, you know, are the things that have become strong in this country since the war," muttered one association official, understandably declining to be identified. Though 500 sento owners staged a sit-in outside the office of Tokyo's Governor Ryutaro Azuma, they seemed downright delighted the next day when he forced them to call off the strike, "for the sake of sanitation among the citizenry."

British Prime Minister Harold Wilson went to Washington last week not to ask for money but to talk about it-and the talk focused attention on the small band of Americans who are the nation's front-line strategists in the gold war. In one hectic day, Wilson managed to share Scotch and headaches with the Secretaries of Treasury and Commerce, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, the chief presidential economist and a score of their erudite underlings.

Bart's music is beautifully done-"edging towards ballad-opera," as the Times put it-and full of the rhythms and sounds he picks up by wandering the streets with a tape recorder. The book by Alun Owen, who wrote the script of A Hard Day's Night for Liverpool's own Beatles, is a masterwork in Merseyside accents that could stand...
