It was a week of changes. Both in the political world and in the world of baseball. Crowds jam British streets awaiting the election returns as the Labour Party ousts the Conservatives of Lord Hume after 13 years. Throngs crowd London's square. A sign; Southport, Con 23,917, Lab 11,572 and Conmaj 12,345. No change. People crowded together looking up and waving at the camera. Young male adult, wearing a Derby hat, dark rimmed glasses and his mouth opened. Young men standing with their suits on, in a fountain in the middle of the square. Throngs. A door with the number 10 on it. Limousine pulls up and Lord Hume disembarks from the limo. Sign "Conservative Headquarters" A sign hanging from a building "Transport House" James Harold Wilson, new Prime Minister and his wife Mary at his side. Audience applauding and smiling. The new Prime Minister kisses his wife Mary while standing at a microphone.
