Star Photos. Richard Merkin, 29, is a Brooklyn Miniver Cheevy, born too late to know at first hand the decades between the wars. But he has become an indefatigable researcher into the era, which he sees typified by "an innocence, a lack of maturity, and on the other hand, a marvelous sense of style and elegance."

...government in late 1966, the I.R.C. is authorized to draw up. to $360 million from the national treasury to promote and help finance regroupings in British industry. To many opposition Tories and business leaders, the I.R.C. smacks of "back door nationalization," under which the government could wind up with a dominant voice in the new industrial combines that it fosters. In fact, the I.R.C.'s own managing director, Merchant Banker Ronald Grierson, made no secret of his growing distaste for Wilson's interventionist economic policies, finally quit his post last October...
