Henry Brandon, chief American Am-erican correspondent for the Sunday Times of London, has been writing about presidential politics for more than 30 years. He first came over to cover Harry Truman's Tru-man's campaign in 1948, and has been a U.S. resident since March of 1950. Brandon is in Utah to address Wednesday night's meeting of the Bonneville Knife and Fork Club at the invitation of Deseret News Editor Bill Smart. He is pinch-hitting for the Times' editor-in-chief who was taken ill in London. "Fortunately, we are both skiing enthusiasts, so he (Smart) didn't have much difficulty persuading me to come out here," Brandon said from the Park City resort plaza. Brandon is one of a staff of three correspondents which the Sunday Times maintains in the U.S. "It's not much, but it's good enough for a weekly," he said. The Sunday Times, with a circulation of one-and-a-half million, is one of the largest of any "serious" (to use Brandon's words) newspapers news-papers in the world. "We've always had a distinct dis-tinct group of what is called in England the quality newspapers," news-papers," he said. As well as the news of the week, the 'Odd Couple'Opens Fri. The Park City Players' production of Neil Simon's The Odd Couple opens this Friday, Feb. 22, in the gallery of the Kimball Art Center at 8 p.m. The show features two totally incompatible men, separated from their wives, who share an apartment out of mutual necessity. The pair are portrayed be Jere Calmes, last seen in the Park City Players' production of Oliver!, and Lloyd Stevens who played in Cactus Flower. Calmes plays the businesses include: Soap Opera, a 30-washer and 15 dryer self-service laundromat that oilers dry cleaning service to boot. Soap Opera looks every bit like a big city laundromat laun-dromat -there's even a Coke machine and a black and white TV for those that want to view afternoon soaps while at Soap Opera-except no Hollywood fan mags or plastic hair curlers litter the floor yet. Right next door to Soap Opera is Park City Furniture Company a store stuffed as a sofa with wall art, lamps, chairs and other furniture staples. Among the offered speciality items are realistic brass reproductions of antique an-tique collectibles, including assorted styles of oil signal laterns. Out the furniture store door and in the next, puts you in Printink, which is no carbon copy of its former self, the Copy Center. Print ink oilers lull-service quick printing from off-set Sunday Times specializes in reviews of live theatre, films, television, radio, and books. "The book review section is considered to be one of the best," he said. He was asked to name the paper in the U.S. which would come the closest to his own. "I would be the New York Times, except that the New York Times is much bulkier. We have 72 pages a week, which is the highest among (England's) Sunday papers." Like America, England has its share of scandal sheets. "There are the sensational tabloids," he agreed, "which cater to a different educational educa-tional background. There are people who are not interested in information, really, who want to be entertained." Britain's papers also have been hit by their share of strikes. A pressman's strike sidelined the Times recently for 11 months, between December 1978 and November Novem-ber 1979. "It is perhaps unique in newspaper history that when we came back we retained instantly our full circulation," circula-tion," he said. The strike resulted in another an-other job offer for Brandon. "It was during this period that the Washington Star asked me to do a column for them. Now that the Times is back in circulation, I have much less time but I'm trying to continue my col fanatical housekeepei i-eiix Ungar and is the perfect foil for Stevens' bleary-eyed Oscar Os-car Madison, the irresponsible irresponsi-ble slob. Their domestic life begins to repeat some of the patterns of their own disastrous disas-trous marriages, so this too appears to be ending. The play is given additional spark by the poker-player buddies played by David Fleisher, Curt Graf, Scott Graham and Bob Toy. The Pigeon sisters, played by Madeline Smith and Robin Westphal, provide some subtle sub-tle teasing. presses. Binding services and blue-printing also are available. Cleverly located by Cinemas :t, McWilly's offers shakes, sundaes and sand wich fare to those who work up an appetite by sitting through a double-feature. But the best part about Mc-Willy's, Mc-Willy's, say managers Ada Norton and Sharel Hayes, is the ice cream is a natural food fadist's delight: no artilicial colors, preservatives, preserv-atives, no phony flavors and no sucrose, or table sugar, lurks in McWilly ice cream. Instead of sucrose the McWilly product uses fructose, which can be ingested by some diabetics and has the added advantage of cutting calories to a fourth or fifth that of Tegular ice cream.' A typical McWilly ice cream cone has t4 calories, including the-er. naturally-whole wheat cone. A clockwise tour of the Village Mall's inside walk-wav walk-wav takes von first to Park Writer City umn. His column has an international interna-tional focus. It could address, ad-dress, for example, the international outlook of presidential candidates. Brandon agrees that American Ameri-can papers do not have the international perspective of their British counterparts. "There are a number of good regional newspapers in this country, but they still do not compare with the range of coverage in the British quality newspapers." He pointed out that there is a large newspaper-reading population in Britain. Besides Be-sides the London-based papers, there also are good regional papers such as the Yorkshire Post, the Manchester Man-chester Guardian and the Edinburgh Scotsman. Brandon served as a war correspondent for the Times in North Africa and Europe, then was moved to Paris after the war. "I fortunately didn't have to go to the Pacific," he said. He said his first American presidential campaign was very enlightening. "I travelled tra-velled with Truman on the whistle stop campaign, which was an unforgettable experience." He described a black loose-leaf loose-leaf book which Truman took with him. "Every page told him something about the next town and what the federal government had done for each particular spot.
