HOME NEWS, pp 3-7 Out of the speculation — both in terms of money and words — that surrounded
the Group of Ten talks in Rome emerged the fact that the Conservatives are
staking all, including a million unemployed, on their bid to hike the country
diplomatically and economically into Europe. We discuss their calculations on the
opposite page. Also on this page the politics behind the students’ Day of Action,
and a pint of human kindness from the Salvation Army’s blood bank.
INDUSTRY, p 4 The Queen’s prospective pay rise is analysed on the previous page, but main news
of the week is that the Industrial Relations Act is in business. In this situation
when the TUC’s right hand finds out what the left one is doing it shakes so much
that sitting on both is the only thing to do. Our industrial correspondent exposes
the problems.
CAPITALISM, p 5 Vaginal deodorants now cram every chemist and adorn bathrooms by the million.
Yet in the US there has been increasing concern about their use. The capitalism
page looks at the product, the market and the companies which dominate it.
LAW AND ORDER, pp 6-7 Last week Jake Prescott was sent to gaol for 15 years, and Ian Purdie remanded to
face further charges. Judicial savagery. was the predictable outcome of this
political trial. In a double-page page report John Matthews and Judy Ferguson
outline its whole course and the roles of state, judge, counsels and accused.
FOREIGN NEWS, pp 8-15 Is Hirohito’s doddering gait a life-time’s mask for militarist intrigue? So far from
being a boffin and pawn was it an active war criminal who was drawn by coach
and flunkeys through the streets of London the other month? 7 DAYS talks to
the man, Bergomini, who has proved these points. Also on the foreign pages,
further news of Home’s sordid conduct in Rhodesia, a dispatch from Canton, and
reports on some of Europe’s Communist Parties.
PHOTO-REPORT, pp 11-13 India and Pakistan are now at war for the third time. Why? Dick Nations reports
on the forces that made the conflict inevitable, from the moment when Pakistan’s
‘simple police action’’ drove ten million refugees into India, where now they wait
or die.
SPORT, p 14 Could you name the Derry team that won the cup in 1954? Sean Ahern can and
looks back to the dear days gone by when boot struck leather to the hot acclaim
of countless straining throats.
LIFE, pp 15-16 Last week a radical conference on the Politics of Psychotherapy took place in
London. Behaviourism came under correct and savage attack. John Howe and
Tom Picton were there to report — and participate — for 7 DAYS.
IDEAS, p 17 Marxists have battled with problems of aesthetics ever since Marx pronounced his
fondness for Balzac and Paul de Kock, Jeff Symons outlines the development of
Marxist aesthetics to the present day.
SPECIAL FEATURE, pp 18-20 Richard Neville stands for many as the prime British & Commonwealth symbol of:
the Underground/Freaks International. To Neville’s credit the state has pursued
him with fierce zeal. But what is his real attitude to the organized left he often
tends to disparage? To get him to set the record straight on such points, 7 DAYS
conducted an extended interview, where the questions sometimes got as long as
the answers. Neville underwent the longest cross-examination he has had to
submit to outside a courtroom. "
ARTS, pp 21-23 From garret to company boardroom — the trajectory of the artist? Peter Fuller
discusses a group who have found excellent reasons for designing, if not actually
using the keys to the executive washroom. Also on these pages Trevor Griffiths
replies to Tom Nairn’s criticisms of his play Occupations, and Emma Tennant
reveals publishers as a coffle of profit-hounds.
