...utter folly that one should criticize Lord Home's appointment on the basis that he is an aristocrat and therefore has little knowledge of, and even less compassion for, the problems of the laborer. Franklin D. Roosevelt, the unquestioned champion of the American workingman and a wealthy aristocrat of the first order, would presumably also be considered by Mr. Harold Wilson an "elegant anachronism."

The invading reds began the show by firing nuclear artillery at the blue defenders, supposedly vaporizing the town of Pon-tarlier (pop. 16,000). Smoke machines puffed up mushroom clouds to simulate utter destruction. The blues responded by dispatching a couple of Mirage VIs to drop 60-kiloton bombs on a red town of equivalent size. Meanwhile, back at the battlefield, the blues sprayed 15 tactical nuclear weapons on the reds in an area ten miles long and ten miles wide. More puffs...
