Too Clever Wilson set to steer Britain on new course

Harold Wilson, leader of the British Labor party, faces critics calling him too clever by half as he steers Britain toward major shifts. He plans to lead Britain out of the nuclear arms club, renegotiate the Nassau agreement, and push a national plan for steel. He favors U.N. membership for Communist China, borrows Kennedy era ideas, and aims to modernize the prime minister’s office with weekly press conferences. He previously negotiated with Mikoyan, showing toughness, and his image remains modest yet sharp witted.
