...snapped Winnie's granddaughter as photographers began shooting the view from the stern. Later, things got even worse when the prankish Duke of Bedford, the show's announcer, peeled off the detachable lower swath of a mink coat Arabella was modeling, leaving her in a sort of mini-fur. "I do not want to be a model!" she cried, bursting into tears. But by afternoon she had calmed down, and swept through the opening show with no tears. She even endured the duke's suave commentary on the fur. "There's nothing like a fur miniskirt...
...land of the mod and the miniskirt is also the home of the mini-growth economy. Last summer, faced with mounting international debts, a critical gap between rising imports and diminishing exports, and growing skepticism about the value of the pound sterling, Britain's Labor government put the nation on a deflationary diet. Wages, profits and dividends were frozen; taxes were pegged high to dampen spending, and even a slight rise in unemployment was tolerated by a Labor Party that had always stood for full employment.

Such demands have been heard before in Africa; they are not only demagogic but silly. No responsible government gives serious thought to a war against Rhodesia. And for all the calls to arms, not a single...
West Germany is in a serious recession, and consumers are sitting on their pocketbooks. Volkswagen domestic production has dropped 25% from 1966's record high of 1,476,000 vehicles. Like U.S. automakers, the company has been hit by the safety scare. In the mini-motor field, which its beetles long dominated, VW is getting serious competition from General Motors' Opel and the German Ford. Nordhoff has been fighting the pinch with stepped-up exports and a new, cheaper ($1,121) 41 h.p. Model 1200 that he christened Wirt-schaftskrise Kafer, or "economic crisis beetle." With all that...
