...there was a lollipop syndrome, its chief beneficiary last week appeared to be Harold Wilson, who would like to gain his fourth victory as Labor Party leader and thus become the winningest Prime Minister of this century.

But Nancy Maginnes Kissinger, 39, seemed to take...
...strong government which is firm but fair," he declared, picking up the theme of the Tories' 12,000-word manifesto "Firm Action for a Fair Britain." Across the square, Labor Party Leader Harold Wilson, in a rival press conference, tartly retitled the Tory manifesto "Infirm and Unfair." Slimmer than during his two terms as Prime Minister and reflectively puffing on a pipe, Wilson lashed out 'against inflation: eggs up 99% since 1970, cheese 78%, chicken 69% and bread will rise to just half a penny less than the celebrated "three-shilling loaf that Heath in 1970 had said...
