...Astor. Thomas, who campaigned for the Democrats last fall with the slogan "Most of the way with L.B.J.," blasted the Administration's anti-poverty program ("to talk of victory is nonsense"), called for a cease-fire in South Viet Nam, opened telegrams of congratulations from Hubert Humphrey and Earl Warren.

The most influential among them is the scion of a 200-year-old banking family: George R. S. Baring, 46, third Earl of Cromer, who, as the outspoken and energetic Governor of the Bank of England, was the chief British architect of last fortnight's $3 billion rescue of the pound. At the top of the private banks are scores of modern-day Rothschilds, Schroders, Brandts, Hambros and other heirs...
