While most U.S. corporations are continually on the prowl for ripe acquisition possibilities, merger fever is just beginning to infect Britain, which still abounds with inefficient, low-profit companies that duplicate products and services. Ironically, the Socialist government has been the primary booster of a trend toward bigger business, and in 1966 formed the Industrial Reorganization Corporation to promote and help finance regroupings in industry.

...picture nonetheless remains a hysterical hybrid of cinema and opera, a Chinese fever dream of Madame Butterfly when she was just a caterpillar. Still, it is a heartening affirmation that Hong Kong is holding out against the gongs and tongs of its mainland enemies. In their island bastion, Producer Run Run Shaw and his sibling Run Me grind out 40 such Chinese films a year, have become so successful that they now own the biggest show-business empire in Asia. Their movies may be tragedies, but with 132 movie houses and seven amusement parks, the Shaws continue to enjoy...
