...Commons. As originally drawn by the government, the bill would not have gone into effect until Parliament was dissolved for the next election, which need not be held until fall 1964. That, to the Lords, looked suspiciously like a maneuver to keep Hailsham from getting into the political swim, presumably engineered by some of his rivals for the prime ministership-or even by Harold Macmillan, who is sounding increasingly reluctant to step down.

"They don't play golf or tennis," complains one Bermuda hotelman. "They don't sail, water ski, swim or skindive. They're spectators, TV watchers and sunbathers. You have to show them how to have...

Off the Aran Islands, fishermen still go out in currachs, their ancient coracles, and never learn to swim because they know death takes longer if they do. Ireland has in abundance the qualities that often seem to be dis appearing elsewhere: kindliness, an unruly individualism, lack of snobbery, ease, style and, above all, sly humor. Though the Irish have lived much of their lives with bloodshed and privation, their tales of the bad times are recounted with as little rancor as if they...
