...need you," then begins hugging and kissing the crowd, men and women alike. In a campaign of innuendo against the Republican, he derides Rockefeller as a "jet-set cowboy," has attacked his virility by labeling him a "prissy sissy" and urged that "deviates, political and otherwise," be kept out of office...
Last week all of Britain wondered where Blake was: Scotland Yard staked out the abandoned R.A.F. airstrips around London, put a watch on the docks, kept a discreet eye on the Russian and East European embassies. Seven other spies were transferred to less porous prisons, and the Home Office appointed Lord Mountbatten to investigate the scandalous state of security in British jails, which have been losing inmates at the rate of ten a week.

Employers often prefer middle-aged women because they are less likely than younger married women to be kept away by a child with the mumps or some other domestic crisis. At the same time, much of the old prejudice against hiring younger women-for fear that they will marry, become pregnant and quit-has eased with the rise in use of the birth-control pill.
