Some Liberal policies are shared by Labor-notably their conviction that Britain should scrap its costly, prestigious' Hbomb arsenal in hopes of halting the spread of nuclear weapons. In the past, party officials have seriously discussed pooling forces to put up "Lib-Lab" candidates at the next election. However, Liberal Party Leader Jo Grimond last week took full advantage of the Socialists' disastrous disarray on Common Market membership. Pressing home his bluntest attacks yet on Labor, Grimond declared: "The Labor Party is losing its soul-just as the Liberals are gaining their feet...
...fashioned valentines-dangles above. Flaking paint, wood grain, wormhole and lathe scar are meticulously recorded in sharp focus, yet there is an eerie, aching loneliness about the scene that no camera could ever convey. In Lady Fair the mood is pure fun. with its symbolic scrap of lace, a well-gnawed spare rib. and a blonde lock pinned on a brocade background along with a tattered French postcard (a small leaf has been taped in place for the sake of modesty), a reproduction of Ann Pollard, an anonymous American primitive painting of an old woman, and a snippet of Picasso...

Tolerant of the teasing, David defends his selections: "They might not mean anything to you now, but if you look at them for three or four days, you will find them very soothing...
...York City, where seven dailies scrap for the summer reader's indifferent eye, the news dearth becomes even more crucial. The World-Telegram launched listless crusades against pigeons (they carry lice and disease) and buses (the service is lousy). Amid a welter of daily stories about the Monroe suicide, Hearst's Journal-American still found two pages on which to reproduce a dozen letters that former U.S. President Herbert Hoover got from children. One desperate day, the Herald Tribune, which has been running a daily picture of unrepaired potholes in New York streets, abruptly shifted this feature onto...
