While New York newspapers struggle with assorted unions for the right to automate in bits and pieces, a new British daily went into operation last week with ultramodern, automatic, labor-and-time-saving techniques in every production area.

That was putting it mildly. In autocratic Otto's years as lord high executioner of foreign aid bills, the chairman of his parent committee had been Missouri's curmudgeonly Clarence Cannon, another handout hater, who gave Passman a free hand to slash as he saw fit.

But the problem is: what should lawyers call her? "My Lord" seemed confusing at best, while traditionalists cringed at the sound of "Mrs. Justice." After grave deliberation, the Lord Chancellor's office has duly issued its decision: henceforth, Mrs. Lane will be Mr. Justice Lane, and may indeed be called "My Lord."
