...were also the only party campaigning for British membership in the European Common Market. Grimond & Co. did not expect to add more than half a dozen parliamentary seats to their present six, could only hope to exert real influence over the next government if the Tories and the Socialists wound up in a near draw. The real question was whether what votes they got in the marginal constituencies would be "stolen" from Labor or the Tories. The pundits' tentative guess: more from Labor...

Sydney Sturgess was badly miscast as Jocasta; but Ellis Rabb acted as cathartic a Tiresias as one is ever likely...
...family fled to France during anti-Christian riots in the early 1920s. By 1928, the Aivaz family was in New Britain, Conn., flat broke. There were seven youngsters to feed by then, so Jonathan never finished high school. He worked his way across the country as a movie pressagent, wound up with a small "chitchat and music" program on a Seattle radio station, and a new name-no one could pronounce...
