...this time, the scribes turned upon their own players. When King George hired Duke Billy to manage the Yankees, the problems grew. The Yankees got a new castle to play in as a gift from the rulers of York, who rebuilt the Castle of Ruth, which had been the Yankee's home for so long. And this gift smelled of corruption, so the scribes talked badly of it. Also, Duke Billy was a controversial sort, and he had problems with his players, especially Sir Reginald, who always seemed to fall off his horse...
...mole" who for years had unobtrusively buried himself in the British Secret Service. Haydon was manifestly based on Kim Philby, a principal strategist of British intelligence who defected to Russia in 1963 after two decades of spying for the Soviets. Britain's real Secret Service had to be rebuilt after the Philby scandal; the fictional one is equally shattered and in need of repair in the post-Haydon...

...April, demand for natural gas fell. The Emergency Natural Gas Act passed by Congress last February helped too. It enabled gas-consuming states to buy-at high unregulated prices-supplies that had been held in such producing states as Texas and Louisiana. Supplies in storage have now been rebuilt to the point that factories burning natural gas can count on getting enough to keep them running through the summer and fall. Since supplies are being replenished faster than they are being used, reports the American Gas Association, by fall "we'll be in our traditional start-of-winter posture...
