...writer, Lodge tailors his story and his characters to fit a loose collection of gags. The suspicion rises that he thought up the gags first. It is funny, of course, to see firemen swarm through the museum library on a false alarm, hosing down the stray scholar's pipe. But they are dispossessed figures like TV actors left standing on the studio stage while the scenery is being shifted for the next guffaw-in full view of the camera...
...steel companies-Dorman Long, South Durham Steel and Iron, and Stewarts and Lloyds-agreed to fuse into a group that will rival the new steel titans on the Continent, be capable of producing a quarter of Britain's steel needs. The merger was prompted by the demand for pipe created by newly found North Sea gas.

It launched Prince Albert pipe-tobacco cigarettes to match American's Half & Half filters, but dropped the brand as a failure. The main event is a new turn in the 40-year rivalry between Lucky Strikes and Reynolds' Camels, which are now the second-ranked nonfilters (after Pall Mall). Camel filters were introduced this year to compete with American's fast-growing Lucky filters, and a menthol version is ready to take on Lucky Strike Greens...
