Before flying off to Washington, British Chancellor of the Exchequer James Callaghan had dinner in London with Groucho Marx. What did they talk about? Says Groucho: "We discussed the British financial situation." Groucho was not kidding: that topic is foremost in many a European conversation these days. Callaghan made his trip to Washington to counter persistent fears on the Continent that Britain faces a major economic crisis in the fall and to show that, even if that should happen, Britain has a powerful financial ally in the U.S. "They are more sympathetic in the U.S.," said the Chancellor, "than...

The man responsible was Tariq Ali, 21, a publicity-happy Pakistani studying at Oxford's Exeter College, who as president of the Union selects the topic of its weekly debates. His choice won him threats from Britain's fledgling Ku Klux Klan ("Watch out, you dirty wog"), four television appearances (worth $56), and 18 newspaper interviews.
