Congratulations to Adam Trimingham for his masterly synopsis of 1963, a memorable year in which I somewhat lugubriously celebrated turning 40.
I admired the article's vast sweep, from its quotations from Hamlet and Larkin, to reminiscences of the Stephen Ward inquest and the unsurpassable TWTWTW.
Reading Adam's survey, I felt like one of the rustics in Oliver Goldsmith's poem, The Village Schoolmaster: "...and still the wonder grew, That one small head could carry all he knew".
