...perhaps fearful that the thief they catch just may be one of their own. What's more, efficiency experts say that exposing employees to the strain of a perpetual manhunt is bad for morale. There is also the bad publicity to consider. Best advice, then, for the white-collar worker, as well as for his boss down the hall, is: Keep purses in locked drawers, wallets in pockets-and hang onto your hats...
...thrive on modern risk while paying homage to 275 years of tradition. In Lloyd's five-story London headquarters, where it moved only six years ago, reports of ships lost at sea are still registered with an elegant quill, and attendants are clad in scarlet coat and black collar. Important news is heralded by strokes from an ancient battleship bell-one stroke for bad news, two for good. Last week Lloyd's had some bad news: it suffered one of its worst losses in Britain's great train robbery (see THE WORLD). This week, however, it will...
...elected committee of twelve, now chaired by J.N.S. Ridgers, a specialist in deep-sea towing risks. The underwriting syndicates embrace 5,316 moneyed members-double the total in 1945-who collectively put up pieces of their personal fortunes and are liable for losses down to their last collar button.

He took his informality right along with him to Southwark. He sometimes takes a morning dip with early-rising parishioners at an open-air pool before starting a full Sunday's work. Once, by appointment, he called, wearing layman...
...rimmed half glasses and Neanderthal lope, is fed up with himself. One night in his laboratory he stirs up and quaffs a concoction that will make him strong, handsome and irresistible to women-for what woman could resist a sun-lamp tan, a Shinola coiffure, a high-roll shirt collar, and an electric blue suit with black lapels? Thus decked out, God's gift to coeds invades the Purple Pit (a Paramount updating of the old campus hangout) to dazzle the denizens. He bullies some fullbacks, sings some songs in a Jerry-built baritone, and tells the chicks...
