Inc and Eng

CHRISTOPHER HOLLIS

Dr Spock has come to England to speak for the Civil Liberties Legal Defence Fund, Inc. The 'Inc' is important, indicating that it is the American organisation, not the one re- cently set up in this country. Tony Smythe, general secretary for the Council of Civil Liberties, heard only accidentally of Spock's visit. He hopes that he can 'do a sort of double act' and 'split the proceeds down the middle.'

Let nobody think Civil Liberties, Inc.

And Civil Liberties, Eng, Are the same sort of thing.

Tony Smythe was quite stunned And his friends were all shocked When they heard that the Fund Had got Benjamin Spock.

Though they're separate concerns And they were not invited, If they split what he earns They'll be truly delighted.
