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

page looks at the product, the market and the companies which dominate it.

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

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

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. "
