Those synthetic silk stockings sound like the answer to a maiden's prayer. Are they on the market as yet? If so, where, please? If not-who is making them? Surely not General Motors?

Today, Martin remains well in control with some 37% of the stock in his hands, but the bankers who are now interested in his company have taken him out of the air.
