LONDON IS FULL of minor mysteries. I was on top
of a bus recently travelling up Oxford Street when the conductor ap- peared; turned the front seat upside down; put one foot on it (to balance himself); produced a camera of (I would guess) pre- First World War vintage; and began to take photographs out through the front window. He took one of Oxford Street: another of Regent Street. In neither case was there anything obvious to capture—not even the usual traffic block. What was he up to? If that bus had been going along the Hampstead Road the day before at eleven in the morning the conductor could have snapped a middle-aged woman on the pavement REFERRING TO Mr. Stassen's 'stop Nixon' movement, a Repub- lican Congressman, Mr. Usher L. Burdick, told the House of Representatives : 'I do not think the President knows any- thing about it, for he is not very close to the administration.'
