...bottom, what is most distressing to the protesting doctors is the fact that some of their colleagues are making a lot of money out of abortions in London's private Harley Street hospitals and suburban nursing homes. For that, no effective remedy is in sight. One opponent of the present law wants to amend it by imposing a six-month residence requirement to quash the jet-set trade, but no amendment can take effect for three years...

Dimbleby dismissed much of the ceremonial as "a road show" and "a con." As Air Force One taxied in at London's Heathrow Airport, he observed that "President Nixon is no doubt adjusting his face and deciding whether it's more suitable to smile or look stern as he comes out. He is a man with a face for all seasons; so no doubt it will be the appropriate look." At one point, as the camera cliff-hung on the door of No. 10 Downing Street and the end of a Wilson-Nixon meeting, he sniped: "Of course...
