...President-who last week added yet another worthy program to the package by signing the Arts and Humanities bill in the Rose Garden of the White House-might well have wondered why this was so.

Deputy Prime Minister George Brown rose to defend the measure. "There is coming about a recognition that we are partners in an industrial democracy," he insisted. His words won the day-and approval for Wilson's wages plan...
...right. A left. Another right. The Bad Guy was giving Tony Curtis his lumps in a TV rerun of a forgettable flick called Flesh and Fury. Anybody could see that it was not over yet: Tony's curls were still neatly combed. Bravely, he rose from the floor to smite his opponent a mighty clout on the mandible - and cheers rang through the Los Angeles Dodgers' clubhouse at Chavez Ravine...
