struggle behind the EPTU rule book controversy.

Capitalism ‘On _page 7 our City and Business correspondents show how

so far as some sections of British finance capital are concer-

ned we are already in Europe, and how for others it is only

a matter of greasing the path.

Photo-Feature: On October 18 the ‘Das Reich’ division of the SS, respons-

ible for one of the most hideous massacres of the war, held

a re-union party in Bavaria. They sang, drank and rememb-

Rocket, the fastest — and richest — dog in the world.

Cockburn writes about violence, Tom Picton goes for a ride

pictures what a ‘riot’ in Derry was really about.

Museum, tells 7 DAYS what it is like to be ‘a new type of

prisoner’ in Grendon Underwood psychiatric prison and

Raymond West talks to other ‘patients’ thére.

‘What is happening to the Labour Party? Where are its new

ideas? Can Wedgwood Eenn really be the answer. On page

20 Tom Nairn answers these questions and examines the

frightening vista of Labour Powellism.

Ideas: Every week 7 DAYS will devote a page to the discussion

- of ideas.-To open this series Gareth Stedman Jones shows

that Marx was right 100 years ago and capitalism is still the

exploitative system it has always been.

Arts: Between pages 24 and 27 Stuart Hood talks about TV as

industry, Peter Wollen reviews a new book on realism, Geoff-

rey Nowell-Smith discusses ‘The Conformist’, Bertolucci’s

new film and Dave Laing writes about the Hit Parade. We

also review Charlie Gillett’s history of Rock, and in the first

on another series John Mathews analyses the Ad of the week.

Special Feature: For three months Peter Fuller and Jon Halliday have been

looking at the world of the gambler. In Britain 45 million

people stake £2000 million a year — much more than the

country spends on health. Fuller and Halliday examine the

forces, economic and sexual, behind this mass compulsion.

All this is in the first, enlarged issue of 7 DAYS, Britain’s

only photo-news weekly. From now on all our writers and

photographers will be bringing you the same wide coverage.
