...planning, his clufsy attempts to impose a wage pause and to throw cold water on arbitration agreements have all drained vital support from his party, the sort of support that even a competent administrator like Mr. Brooke cannot easily restore. Voters at the next election will scrutinize the Exchequer hardest...
Paradoxically, the close resemblance between most of the 1962 cars (see cuts) and their 1961 predecessors pleases the men who in the past have pushed hardest for style changes: the nation's auto dealers. The only dealers to get completely restyled cars-the trim new Plymouths and Dodge Darts-were generally delighted, since last season's models were particularly bulky and bulbous. But dealers whose 1961 wares had been hot sellers, notably those handling the Falcon and the Mercury Comet, were openly relieved that their cars had retained the same basic design.

To which a magistrate added: "Humanity; common sense; humility; a little law, a very clever...
Justice showed its hardest faces in Austria and in France. An Austrian Interlude is marked by the injustice that is created by rudeness and arrogance in judges. On a minor charge of malicious damage (something about a torn curtain), the woman defendant is both badgered and insulted by the court. And in Paris, Author Bedford looked on with fascination and horror at a farcical trial of Algerians. The men may very well have been the terrorists the prosecution claimed they were, but the trial itself was a form of terrorism. The judge was indifferent, the lawyers made irrelevant speeches laced...
