...vote was thus a stinging rebuke to Wilson personally, but it will have no immediate effect on the Labor government's economic policies, because wage and price restraints are now the law. The vote will make more difficult the renewal of the measures when they expire late next year, but Wilson is committed to his policies. Some of their first optimistic returns came in last week, when the Bank of England announced a handsome $504 million increase in gold and foreign-currency reserves during September...
Back in the late 1940s, when her father was Ambassador to the Court of St. James's and she was one of Princess Margaret's closest companions, hardly a week went by without a report that Sharman Douglas, 40, was about to get married. Nobody quite corralled her then; now someone has. The groom-to-be is once-divorced Andrew Mackenzie Hay, a naturalized American from London. Why no engagement announcement?

Spectacular Bonus. Apollo 8, which will carry Astronauts Frank Borman, James Lovell and William Anders into orbit late in December, was originally designed to duplicate this week's flight and to recheck any equipment or procedures that go wrong on Apollo 7. Now, spurred by growing concern that the Soviets are planning to upstage the U.S. by sending the first manned craft around the moon, NASA has folded a spectacular bonus into Apollo 8's schedule. If all goes well with Apollo 7, Apollo 8 will be shoved from earth orbit to ward the moon by the last...
