...plan was to find the breaking point. A speech was written by Winston Lord, who later became Kissinger's assistant, who opposed the policy but wrote the draft for a presidential speech explaining the savage blow. The plans included mining Haiphong. I had been told throughout this period, a tacit assumption between us, my informants and me since Hanoi is not going to meet the Nixon-Kissinger terms they are going to carry out their plan, But Magruder gave some interesting clues as to why it was dropped. He says the administration was preoccupied with antiwar dissent, the success...
...Elizabeth-and royalty at that. Burton's latest love is Princess Elizabeth of Yugoslavia, 38, a twice-married mother of three whose second husband is British Banker-Politician Neil Balfour. The romance began just last month while Burton was in London filming a biography of Sir Winston Churchill. "We are going to be married-that's definite," says Burton. "She has been a friend to Elizabeth [Taylor] and me for years. We re-met three weeks ago, and that was it." Besides her parents in Paris, Liz II has other royal connections; she is a second cousin...
...Winston Churchill once referred to southern Europe as "the soft underbelly" of the continent. Three decades later, his anatomical description has fresh currency and a new political meaning. Scarcely six months ago, the corners of the southern tier-Portugal and Greece -were firmly controlled by militantly anti-Communist dictatorships.

Burning Story. Scott is a freelance writer and newspaperwoman (Winston-Salem Journal, Baltimore Sun) who specializes in industrial hazards and environment. Her research ranges more widely than Brodeur's. She tracks down cases of beryllium disease among workers who handle that high-strength, lightweight metal. They not only develop respiratory symptoms similar to asbestosis but suffer from heart and liver damage that produces a 30% mortality rate. She deals with lung damage from such new chemicals as tolylene diisocyanate, widely used in foam rubber products; nerve diseases caused by various new solvents used in the printing industry; damage...
...then. The country not only faces what all party leaders agree is the worst economic crisis in 40 years, but also is suffering from a political malaise that some observers fear could threaten the existence of parliamentary democracy. It is, in short, a crisis of Churchillian dimensions -but no Winston Churchill is in sight. Instead, the voters will choose as their next Prime Minister a tired and familiar old face: either cunning, pragmatic Laborite Wilson, 58; schoolmasterly bachelor Edward Heath, 58, the Conservatives' leader; or likable but inexperienced Liberal Jeremy Thorpe, 45, who is a very dark horse indeed...
