...last public word on the subject had been a ringing assurance in March that he was "impatient for the election in which I shall lead you to victory." Just two weeks ago, when confronted with a flurry of unrest from backbenchers, Home had privately reiterated his determination to stay on. Party Chairman Edward du Cann concurred, but the British press, most notably the Tory press, emphatically did not, and had been saying so in a rising crescendo. "He should go," asserted the Sunday Express. "The right moment to change," advised the Sunday Times. "Sir Alec could now retire with...

Most of them require awkward circumlocutions to express Catholic dogma. In pidgin English for example, God is "Bigfellow master too much who bosses heaven and ground." Even more bothersome is the primitive Enga language of the New Guinea mountains. In trying to translate the "Hail Mary" prayer, explains one missionary, "we found that if a group...
Monopolizing the Desert. The two governments plan to form a "cooperative association"; that will monopolize future oil and gas exploitation. Foreign companies already in Algeria-including Royal Dutch Shell, British Petroleum and Jersey Standard-will be allowed to stay, but will have their taxes substantially increased.
