This August a series of conferences will begin at Taizé and later move on to other countries. The meetings, to be called the Council of Youth, will explore ways that the young can help offset the injustices of the world so that, as a council slogan puts it, man will "no longer be victim to man." Brother Roger does not want the council to become a bureaucratized movement. There will be, he says, "no successions of votes, amendments, commissions, representations. It will be like an ever-widening river ... it will be what we shall have become...

The Drybrough brewery prints the flag on its export cans, while the brewer of Tennent's lager pushes the slogan: "It's good ... It's satisfying ... It's Scottish."

Poll Reversal. But Labor, led by former Prime Minister Harold Wilson, 57, has ample ammunition to fire back. The Tory slogan is "a fraud," Wilson railed last week. "The short answer is that for some months now no one has governed Britain." Labor's battle cry will be a "fair society," accompanied by a promise to repeal the hated Industrial Relations Act, which sharply restricts union activities, introduce across-the-board food subsidies and set up a new prices-and-income board under the direct control of Parliament. The party's strongest pitch will be on inflation. Food...
