At Westminster, M.P.s were forced to break with a tradition of holding parliamentary by-elections on Thursdays, when one at Hamilton, near Glasgow, conflicted with World Cup opening ceremonies. Faced with a $2,500 airfare to Argentina, a number of frugal Scottish supporters flew to New York City and hitchhiked south, and at least two made the trip on bicycles...
