Parry's life will change in vital respect next year. For the first time since 1960, when he went to the University of Wales as principal of University College in Swansea, he will be living in the city.

In Swansea fortnight ago, 300 marchers demonstrated against the NATO plan to train West German Panzer units in Wales this fall. The real point-that the defense of Berlin is ultimately the defense of Britain-is only now beginning to dawn on the mass of Britons enjoying the summer...
