...Extra Mart. As the party on the rise, Labor now has a psychological edge. Wilson's stock has been buoyed by Britain's current balance-of-payments surplus, the first in seven years, and by his cocky show of confidence two weeks ago at Labor's own annual meeting in Brighton. At the Tory conference, one speaker compared Wilson to Richard III, he of the "crooked back" and "evil mind" who rallied his troops and "rode off full of hope to his doom in Bosworth Field." In the end, that fate may befall Edward Richard George Heath...

...everyone else-into a contented, harmless heap. Still another suggestion is that the guns firing darts dipped in tranquilizers to fell animals without injury be used on airline pirates. More elaborate is a recommendation to construct a bogus airport south of Miami to resemble Havana's José Martí International. Plastered with Bienvenido a la Habana signs and staffed by Cuban refugees, the airfield presumably would fool skyjackers long enough to ensure their arrest upon landing...
