...erected its own building, entered the publishing business with three profitable weekly papers. Last week, with its charter essentially unchanged and renewed for another ten years, B. B. C. entered its second decade, a British institution apparently as solidly established as Big Ben, whose booming it uses for a broadcast time signal...
