During the past year or so, such well-known U.S. firms as Bantam Books, ESB, Inc., formerly Electric Storage Battery, and Magnavox have been bought out by foreign companies. But the juiciest attraction could be Copperweld. Largely because of successful management efforts to diversify its line of alloyed steels and specialty tubing used in construction, the company has been consistently profitable. Despite the recession, Copperweld sales in the first half of 1975 climbed to $162.5 million from $150.6 million a year earlier. Profits jumped from $6.2 million to a record $8 million. Copperweld is particularly vulnerable to raiders because...
...fell in love with him," the pale, soft-spoken woman told a hushed Manhattan courtroom. If it sounded like the familiar tale of the innocent girl and the wily seducer, conditions were different enough to make it the juiciest trial in town: the defendant in the $1.25 million malpractice suit is a psychiatrist, Renatus Hartogs, 66, who writes an advice column in Cosmopolitan magazine.

GILBERT AND SULLIVAN are among the most important of the minor pleasures of life, and Harvard would be a spiritually poorer place without its G & S society. Like any company devoted to performing a canon of works over and over, some years it must forego the juiciest operas and stick with the second-rate.

Its production is like Hamlet at Stratford or Casablanca at the Brattle Square. This Mikado, though, is hardly a high...
...SUGAR-COATING for this polemic is some of the juiciest literary gossip to come out of the Bloomsbury boom, which seems to derive much of its momentum from the revelation, at well-spaced intervals, of its members' sexual habits. Bloomsbury, was, we know now, stranger than we could have imagined. Each month for the last year or so has brought a new book calculated to shock, titillate, and endear these brilliant perverts to out hearts. Lytton Strachey's fascination with the eroticism of the ear, John Maynard Keynes's penchant for the hand, and G. Lowes Dickinson's boot fetishism...
Chicago's newspapers last week were reveling in the juiciest of exposes. Broken originally by the Sun-Times and then bannered by its competitors as well, the scandal starred Alderman Thomas E. Keane, chairman of the city council's powerful finance committee and friend of Mayor Richard J. Daley. The story had all the ingredients of classic muckraking: secret land trusts, gigantic tax breaks and windfall profits from sales of choice public land. As the inquiries broadened, other city leaders were implicated. The series−five months in the making−was an example of investigative journalism...
