...report, Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer lectured the West German Finance Minister "as if he were a member of the Conservative Opposition." Jenkins himself was heckled outside the ministry by Germans who were protesting against British efforts to encourage a mark revaluation. The demonstrators carried placards that read SCHILLER AND STRAUSS, DON'T BE BLACKMAILED! and WILSON, HANDS OFF THE D-MARK!-a reference to a telegram that British Prime Minister Harold Wilson had sent to Chancellor Kiesinger in an effort to enlist West German support for an upward pricing of the mark...

A draw play gained 14 yds., but then Champi lost 2 yds. trying to pass. The clock read 3 sec.; time for only one more play.
