...only toast is just 'Thank you, Roy.' " . . . It was "roll 'em" time on the Young Winston set at Swansea, and the place was crawling with make-believe Churchills. There was Simon Ward, 28, playing Winston the war correspondent, Michael Audreson, 14, portraying Churchill as a schoolboy, and Anne Bancroft in the role of Winston's mother, Jennie.

In his first game, Blue, one of the few switch-hitting pitchers in baseball, clouted a three-run homer...
...launched a $3,000,000 educational campaign. Posters went on display in 950 cities and towns. Fifteen million copies of a decimal currency guide were sent to households throughout the country, including booklets in Welsh and Braille. Television spots urged: "Think decimal!" The BBC put a 13-year-old schoolboy named Sebastian on its breakfast program to explain to his foolish elders how simple decimalization is. Listeners loathed...
