Troubled Allies. The planned withdrawal is as much due to Britain's strict austerity drive-initiated a year ago-as it is to De Gaulle. The British are having a hard time trying to wipe out their foreign-trade deficit and shore up the pound, which last week was shakier than it has been for a year, partly because of trade losses stemming from the war in the Middle East. Thus, the $384 million that Britain paid last year for the upkeep of bases outside Europe looked like a luxury. Healey intends to cut this figure to about...
...critic, novelist, painter, polemicist, gadfly and editor of the short-lived and incendiary artistic magazine, Blast. This partial autobiography, written in 1937 and now reissued, proves that Lewis could give as good as he got. His book bristles on almost every page with his endless resources for insult. Ezra Pound, after a first impression, was "a cowboy songster"; T. S.

...into the bloody ambush just north of their base at Con Thien three weeks ago. By burying some of their guns in deep holes and caves and moving others from place to place, the North Vietnamese have kept the Marines under continual pressure. Last week they took some heavy pounding themselves. After two months in which they stayed away from the DMZ, largely because of SAM missiles entrenched there, the Air Force's big eight-engined B-52s returned to pound Communist installations in the northern half of the zone...
