...Little Harold." Labor's left wing supports Harold Wilson, 46, an adroit, urbane debater and topnotch intellect who was an Oxford economics don at 21. As President of the Board of Trade in Clem ent Attlee's Cabinet, pipe-puffing Yorkshireman Wilson has had more administrative experience than any of his rivals, is the party's foreign policy specialist. Despite his brilliance and charm, Wilson's foes, who call him "Little Harold," regard him as a slippery opportunist who backs only winning causes-though he miscalculated in 1960 when he attempted to grab the leadership while...
...pipeline network, with two main legs: one westward from Kuibyshev near the Urals to power the factories of Russia's European satellites, the other thousands of miles through Siberia and on to the Pacific. Trouble is, Russia cannot produce all of the big-bore (up to 40 in.) pipe itself; so it has turned to capitalist manufacturers, mostly in West Germany and Italy, for 40% of the 2,500,000 tons of pipe it needs for the project...
Arguing that the pipelines are of vital strategic use to Russia, NATO's trade advisory committee last week tried to put an end to the pipe trade.

Just three and a half months ago, three giant Ruhr firms-Mannesmann, Phoenix-Rheinrohr AG, and Hoesch-signed a contract for another 200,000 tons. Ruhr steelmen denounced Chancellor Konrad Adenauer as a NATO stooge for trying to enforce the new rules. Taken aback, Adenauer's Cabinet last week agreed to reconsider, turned the problem over to a special subcommittee for special study...
Fish at 5. Rawlings' quick mind and near-photographic memory are hidden by a deceptively casual manner. During office hours, he is as likely as not to be found in a staff member's office, feet propped on the desk, puffing his ever present pipe, and talking about the 5-lb. bass he caught that morning near his Lake Minnetonka home between 5 a.m., when he arises, and 7:30, when he gets to work. Rawlings hates committees, delegates work to individual staff members and expects results. "He doesn't expect people to come to him with...
