Coming up fast on the right of Southern Rhodesia politics is the white supremacy Dominion Party, which until February had only four seats out of 30 in Parliament.

Tanned, handsome Antarctic Explorer Vivian Fuchs arrived in London with his igman team at Waterloo Station, where he lit up a convivial pipe for photographers, who caught his wife Joyce in a mood that suggested he ought to change his tobacco.
