Even so, Staircase is a superior example of its genre. Much of its impact comes from Director Mulligan's eye for setting and atmosphere. His Calvin Coolidge High is an actual Manhattan school building, its rust and raunch unretouched for the camera, and his neighborhood is a horrifyingly typical New York slum street. His supporting cast, notably Sorrell Booke as the exasperated principal and Florence Stanley as a guidance counselor in love with instant evaluation, is ideal.

Beyond that, lower supermarket prices will probably mean an end to many of the 60,000 little neighborhood shops, which include sweets among their sundries, and last year accounted for 48% of Britain's candy sales. Most important, the candy case is the first in a series on the docket of the Restrictive Practices Court. The court is now scheduled to rule on price fixing of toys...
