This Labour margin may be decreased by October, but there is little chance that the Tories can rub it out altogether. For all its modern and traditional appeals, Sir Alec's Conservative Party stands just as far below Labour in the polls as Harold Macmillan's did seven months ago. Labour's majorities are looking less like protests against Tory scandals and more like mandates for a Labour government...

Fast Lessons. His individualism is just right for Agent Bond, who makes steely love, is a wine snob, and likes to rub people out without spilling blood on the carpet.

Panic? Army was lusting for blood. The Middies had trounced the Cadets four straight years-and they were eleven-point favorites to make it five. To rub it in, Navy's gold uniforms had "Drive for Five" lettered on the back. Navy was the nation's No. 2 team. Quarterback Roger Staubach was the most talked about player in college football. Army's quarterback was a converted halfback, Rollie Stichweh, and most of the 102,000 fans in Philadelphia Stadium could not even pronounce his name (it rhymes with which...
