Always on the lookout for new acquisitions in the "knowledge industry," the Times Mirror Co. last week announced the purchase of Popular Science, the 95-year-old magazine that mixes some explanations of pure science with practical tips for the man who likes to work with his hands. Along with Popular Science, Times Mirror picked up another magazine called Outdoor Life-plus a producer of audio-visual aids linked to the magazines and two book clubs...

But in the character's most Bogartian moment, a curl of the lip at an actor who is strutting out a characterization in front of the mirror in the Loeb green room, Lerner fails to convince us that he isn't posturing a bit himself. He, too, is fascinated by mirrors, particularly the fold-out, floor-length mirror in the Loeb costume loft which he slowly swings around, hypnotized by the multiple possibilities of his own image...
