...until 1957 did he have a one-man show in London of savage figurative bronzes, which drove a critic to gasp, "One almost wishes them back into clay." Caro gave up modeling in clay as "lifeless." A trip to the U.S. opened his eyebeams to the possibilities of metal assemblage. "There's a fine art quality about European art even when it's made from junk," he says. "America made me see that there are no barriers and no regulations...

At the same time, demand for color TV sets, appliances and cars has helped boost consumption 17% this year to a rate of 2,344,000 tons, nearly half of the metal's world output. With Europe and Japan also using more copper, the extra demand has come too fast to be met by producers plagued by strikes in Chile and by tensions between white Rhodesia and black Zambia...
...result is a world copper shortage and strong upward push on prices. Earlier this year the price rose to a breath taking 98¾? a lb. on the London Metal Exchange, a small-volume speculative market to which users turn when regular sources fail.

Pilots have had to call off flights just before takeoff because they have found oil pressure too low, and with as many as four Vanguards at a time in the shop for repairs, often due to a shortage of spare parts, the fault has had a snowball effect on BEA schedules. The newer three...
Keeping Track. The bulk wine arrives from southern France in barges or 40-tank-car trains, rests eight days in 1,000,000-liter tanks to let the sediment settle, then streams through stainless-steel mains to sterilized, electronically inspected bottles. They are automatically topped (with plastic and metal, not cork), stamped with labels, dropped twelve at a time into cases and conveyed to a mechanical loading dock. There a monitor at a control board punches out orders that fill up waiting trucks at the rate of a truck a minute-fast enough so that some drivers do not bother...
