The column mixes a light note on a card games booklet with a serious critique of military spending. It contrasts old family games like Hearts and Red Dog with popcorn and cards, then argues major powers pour wealth into arms, harming research. India, China, Japan, and West Germany are cited to show global arms impact on industry's competitiveness.

Britain barred from Common Market as de Gaulle veto shocks Europe
In postwar Europe Britain’s bid to join the Common Market is vetoed by France's Charles de Gaulle. The move tests Churchill’s unity dream while six nations push toward economic integration under the Rome treaty. The Community grows through three stages and aims for free movement by 1970, with broader association sought by several countries.
