Although the exhibitions have traditionally focused on commercial-and industrial hardware, nearly half of the items displayed last week were for residential use. "The industry didn't create this market," said Albert Janjigian, chairman of the Security Equipment Industry Association. "It was the increase in crime that did it." Janjigian called home protection the fastest-growing segment of the $20 billion security business...

Contends Fred Wertheimer, president of Common Cause: "Basically, the Administration is saying, 'Don't worry about the statutes on the books; just go about your business...
...Charles Ryder's comically aloof father in TV's Brideshead Revisited. But he was also, to give only a partial list, the anti-Semitic Cambridge don in Chariots of Fire, Lord Irwin in Gandhi, a doge of Venice in NBC's Marco Polo, Albert Speer's father in ABC's Inside the Third Reich, Pope Pius XII in CBS's The Scarlet and the Black, a crooked art dealer in Sphinx, a German scientist in The Formula, and the British censor who prosecuted D.H. Lawrence in Priest of Love...
