Denmark has a special charm, a blend of Baltic wit and North Sea sauce. And the pride of Danes stems from more than possession of Tuborg and Carlsberg beer, or of Europe's oldest royal house. "The Danes are superb salesmen of themselves," sniffs a Swede. "They play their little-mermaid, Hans Christian Andersen image to the hilt." Some 4,500,000 people live in the tidy land north of Schleswig-Holstein, and they wallow in hygge (pronounced HUG-ga), which simply means coziness. It is an indispensable word in Danish that reaches everyone, everywhere. People plan a hyggelig...
...competitive economics of baby food jars and beer cans, aluminum cable and sodium chlorate, the U.S. Supreme Court is fashioning a broad extension of the Government's trustbusting powers. In two decisions last week, and a third in the past month, the court looked sternly upon mergers, whether in the same or in rival industries; it also raised new barriers against the acquisition of smaller competitors or the forming of joint ventures.

For surprise encores Vaudevillian Fiedler uncorked a brassy, off Beatle I Want to Hold Your Hand complete with handclapping and nasal chorus of "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah" from the string section, and a breezy Hello...
...paper fun out of things by substituting the tote board, accompanied by the Friendly Pundit to explain what the flicking numbers seemed to mean. Now the computer is in danger of spoiling the party altogether by announcing the winners before anyone has time to open a can of beer...
