Eleven Languages. Despite its excesses, Powell's campaign does make one legitimate point. Today's overcrowded, economically laggard Britain can no longer afford to make good on the old colonial "myth that we wrote into law" and grant entrance to every Commonwealth emigrant who seeks to settle there. It is a realization that both major British parties share; in fact, under a 1962 law, immigration is already severely limited.

...thrilling that this apotheosis should appear in the heavens at the time of the winter solstice, when the ancient gods awake from the dead winter, the period that later became confused and fused with the Christian nativity myth. Gods never die; they simply change their names, and here is the ancient god, even Apollo himself, reborn and greeting us from the heavens. Hail...

The London-based family had long been under the shadow of its wealthier cousins, the Paris Rothschilds, and of more imaginative British merchant bankers. Now the firm is catching up, as Rothschilds always seem to do. Edmund de Rothschild, 52, remains the senior partner, but the man who is taking an increasingly vocal role is his first cousin, Evelyn de Rothschild, 37. Unlike Edmund, who is active in a largely ceremonial way, Evelyn is pursuing a more aggressive family stewardship...

...Loch Ness, so the story could hardly have been concocted to draw tourists. Even more remarkable, it was written by capable scientists and published in the respectable British journal, New Scientist. Thus it was hard to scoff last week at the latest monster tale. This time, after centuries of myth, speculation and hoax, there was apparently scientific evidence that some kind of large creature-or creatures-may indeed roam the depths of Loch Ness...
