Wilson himself is Labor's strongest asset. With his wit, unflappability and easy manner with voters in pubs as well as on podiums, the perpetually pipe-smoking Wilson, 54, stands in strong contrast to Heath, 53, a somewhat starchy bachelor with an uneven, often irritable manner.

...dominant image is the circle. Catch-22 is as cyclic as the Soldier in White, a mummy-like form completely encased in bandages. At one end, a bottle feeds fluid into the region of some upper vein.

What Zacher worked out was a way to vary the flow of air and thereby produce a family of tones from a single pipe, in much the same way that different sounds...
