...Liberals still hope to play an important role in the new government. Reason: it is quite possible that whoever wins, Tory or Labor, will scrape in with so small a margin (20 seats or less) that it will be necessary to seek Liberal support on major policy issues. Liberal Leader Jo Grimond, while avowedly reluctant to hold the balance of power, is already discussing the "terms" on which his party would "cooperate...
Braving the Forests. Peking, invoking the historical saying, "Hsien ju wei chu [Whoever enters first is master]," makes much the same point as Moscow -but comes up with a different answer.

He is a Southerner-Oklahoma-born, Louisiana-educated-and one of the most intensely competitive men anywhere. He was a triple-threat halfback at Louisiana State, a Marine officer in World War II, an outstanding shortstop for the Giants from 1950 to 1956. As Giants manager for the last three years, he has won the National League pennant once (in 1962), finished third twice...
