Between the two poles is a vast, hidden world, a nonsystem of isolated societies with more or less of the totalitarian qualities evident aboard the Neversink in Melville's White Jacket. With some encouraging exceptions, the principal distinction of the prisons is failure. More than $1 billion a year is spent to produce results that would swiftly doom any other enterprise...
...Strait jacket. The complaint is certainly valid in the case of Japan, which has sealed off its markets while flooding other countries with its wares (TIME cover, May 10). In January, when the final cuts of the Kennedy Round take effect, Japan's tariffs on industrial goods will average 11% v. the U.S.'s 8.4%.

Leo Colston (Dominic Guard) is a twelve-year-old schoolboy come to pass a luxurious summer holiday with a wealthy classmate. Leo is more than a little out of place. He swelters in his woolen Norfolk jacket until his friend's elder sister Marian (Julie Christie) volunteers to take him into town and buy him more suitable clothes. She is fond of the boy, but she is careful to cultivate him too. Soon he is carrying messages to her lover, a Laurentian farmer named Ted Burgess...
