...Minister Harold Wilson can call an election at any time within the next 18 months, and might do so as early as next spring. Nonetheless, Labor, at what could well be its last annual conference before the voting, was off and running.

When the Supreme Court convenes this week, the absence of Earl Warren will mark a new era-but the presence of Warren Burger will not make a dramatic difference.

For long weeks during the summer, lack of railroad cars tied up 3,600 tons of meat and 105,000 tons of other Soviet goods at the border transfer point of Cierna. No one is starving, but Czechoslovaks returning from trips to Germany and Austria carry suitcases stuffed with food...
