Doesn't think Clay is so superduper, but he was clearly outclassed. Clay did a spot of sightseeing; Buckingham Palace, he allowed, was "a swell pad. I think I'd like to have a place like that." At Gieves of Bond Street, outfitters to His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, Cassius bought a red brocade cocktail coat and got fitted to a bowler; the fitter respectfully informed him that his head was slightly lopsided. Crowds of autograph hunters packed around. "Who are you?" asked one puzzled Londoner. "Sonny Listen!" Cassius yelled, trying to look mean...
...quite a show it was. Early in the evening, a seemingly innocuous water fight along Plympton St. drew together a few stragglers; by 11.30 p.m. a good-sized crowd had gathered. Another twenty minutes gave the disturbance time to swell to major proportions--by midnight 2500 students had gathered in the Square...
...believes that thanks to Pope John XXIII "we are witnessing a complete reinterpretation of Roman Catholic dogma. The thoughts expounded by Hans Kűng and other modern theologians in Germany, Holland, France and elsewhere are no longer views of a small spearhead minority, but form the very ground swell of Catholic renovation."

Barth scoffs at the widespread Protestant view that Rome is at last catching up with the Reformation churches, says "it might well be that we Protestants...
...Hans im Glück," his friends call him -Lucky Hans. Always in the right place at the perfect time, smiling, reticent, cologned-and ready with a new composition. Ideas, he says, swell his head like brain tumors, nourished as much by pleasure as by pain. When the pressure of their presence becomes annoying, Lucky Hans excises them by setting his thoughts on paper. This pleasant debility is persistent enough to have made him one of Europe's leading composers, and in the German press it has won him a new nickname. "Der Erfolgskomponist," the papers call him, which...
Bird-Sparing Spray. Responsible forestry experts argue that these ill effects can be minimized by spraying the elms in late fall or in early spring before the buds swell. At those times, few birds are around to be damaged, and when the bark beetles start flying in April from diseased to healthy elms, they are killed by the long-lasting poison. Another help would be substitution of methoxychlor for DDT. Methoxychlor is more expensive, but it kills bark beetles just as well, and it is only 10% as toxic as DDT to birds and other wildlife...
