...occasionally frustrated by political censorship. At present, TIME is kept out of much of the Middle East. For five years the magazine was prohibited in Indonesia, but that ban was happily lifted ten months ago. Since we had maintained a list of our subscribers there, we immediately resumed sending them their copies. Fortunately, such problems do not arise in Australia or New Zealand, where Publisher Davidson and all of us hope for continued, expanding demand and interest...
...steady until 1970, when Parliament is scheduled to review the effects of the suspension, the government is extremely unlikely to call for the restoration of capital punishment. Besides, every execution device in Britain has been dismantled, with the sole exception of the gallows at Wands-worth Prison.

He broke Santana's serve with a booming forehand in the 13th game of the fourth set and ran out the match...
...Gregory's tree house is too close to the street. When another parent, William Sypher, received a notice for building without a permit, his two sons tacked a sign "Bird Feeding Station" on the house and nailed on feed pans-but the ruse failed and the notices kept coming...
