A Spectator's Notebook
One of our writers complained last February as, indeed, did many Conservative candidates and members of Parliament of the inadetluacies of the Tory election machine, particularly in their failure to get out to the public the always admirable and comprehensiveCampaign uoide, frequently an important source of information to journalists and the parliamentary candidates of other parties as well as to the true blues themselves. Reparation has been handsomely made, for the new edition of the Guide, which is accompanied by a supplement covering events since last February, and Which is available at the astonishingly reasonable price of £1.20 is almost as good as it has everbeen. It is, unfortunately, a trifle more partisan and less scholarly than its counterpart of 1970, and it is remarkable for a brilliant if specious defence of Mr Heath's Paris undertcaking not to enter the EEC without the tUll-hearted consent of Parliament and people. u t , all in all, an excellent buy for the political student and connoisseur.
