Since the world fell on troubled times, he has had the wit to add to his large general list a lively line of pink political writings which have made his firm the semi-official organ of Britain's intellectual Left.

His favorite hold is the Russian Bear Hug, nothing more than an earnest attempt to squeeze the living daylights out of his opponent. Last week Wrestler Kalmikoff, an ardent Communist, took...
