Gagliardi, 52, a former genial amateur golfer who once reached the final round of the U.S. Amateur championship, a onetime Westchester County judge appointed by his fellow Republican, Governor Rockefeller. As in all custody cases, he was solely concerned with the children's welfare.

To improve business, L. & M.'s genial, slow-speaking boss, who does his part by smoking as much as three packs of cigarettes and several pipefuls of tobacco every day, may diversify into other consumer products, as several cigarettemakers have already done, will also concentrate on new marketing, advertising and sales ideas to enable his firm...
