...geisha was not their monopoly. Too bad prices are so high nowadays." ∙∙∙ Canada's swinging Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau has never been one to shun the public eye. So when he went to London for the Commonwealth Prime Ministers' conference, he took along a planeload of newsmen.

Gibson Jr., 46, holds awards luncheons, hands out Hollywood-type Oscars to supersalesmen. "They go over particularly well with the womenfolk," he says. Each planeload of 160 husbands and wives is briefed on next year's line of refrigerators on the way over. On the way back across the Pacific, the travelers take a "quiz in the clouds" about what they have learned. Nobody flunks...
