...insist that it is not even a part of Japan's auto industry, and one Japanese automaker sneers that it is "in the toy business." Some toy. Hiroshima's thriving Toyo Kogyo Co. Ltd. outproduced all other Japanese automakers last year and had the industry's fattest profit margin on sales of $231,500,000. This month it turned out its millionth vehicle...
...wives like to fatten their husbands? Yes, says West-for the slaughter. In one of his stories, wives hold a fattest-husband-of-the-year contest. The overstuffed husbands are hauled to a stadium in gaily draped trucks, then hoisted by a winch to a platform, where they are weighed in turn. For a reward, the winner is cooked and eaten by the admiring assembly...
...this week for a taxi bearing a 9½-lb. tome that to many Englishmen-particularly those whose names do not figure in its 3,088 pages-seems as monumentally irrelevant to postwar Britain as the Domesday Book.

Sometimes the paper's profit margin has been paper thin: as little as $61,000 in 1954-on a gross income of $1,232.000. Last week Publisher Orvil E. Dryfoos issued the Times's 1961 annual report. As daily circulation rose to a record 713,514 and Sunday circulation to a record...
