Relations between sport fishermen and their commercial cousins have never been exactly cordial. Lately they have been strained to the breaking point. No longer satisfied with harvestIng such traditional "meat" fish as cod, halibut, salmon and the smaller tunas, commercial fishermen from Japan, Scandinavia and Russia have now invaded the world's best sport-fishing areas with superefficient methods that devastate the population of rare game fish. In the once renowned waters off New Zealand's Mayor Island, where 900 big fish-swordfish, striped and black marlin -were boated in 1949, not a single billfish of any size...
...silver hair, he looked like a cartoonist's Claghorn-and spent money like a Dixie Gatsby. At one celebrated Boykinalia in 1949, nearly every VIP in Washington came to Frank's house to sample a potpourri from his favorite huntin' and fishin' spots. There was salmon from Quebec, pheasant from the Dakotas, antelope from Wyoming, elk from Montana, bear from Georgia-not to mention coon, possum, squirrel and deer from his own 100,000-acre preserve in Alabama...
Cupped in a patch of wooded hills in Issaquah, Wash., some 15 miles southeast of Seattle, a one-story building rambles comfortably across a meadow. A clear creek ripples near by, filled at the moment with salmon heading upstream to spawn.

During the lively late show at London's newest nightclub, underdressed chorus girls grind in the naughtiest Memphis manner while patrons dine on smoked salmon and chicken à la Maryland. Called "Showboat" and located in the Strand, the club is so popular that it is booked solid on weekends through New Year's. The most extraordinary fact about it, however, is its owner: London's J. Lyons & Co., Ltd., known to Britons for years as the conservative proprietor of 170 staid, gold-and-white-fronted teahouses scattered through their country...
...nightclub is the most startling evidence yet of Lyons' efforts to change the image it has had ever since the 1890s. Noting the difficulty of getting light refreshment in London anywhere except in pubs, three tobacco merchants-Brothers Montague and Isidore Gluckstein and Brother-in-law Barnett Salmon-set up a teashop to give women shoppers a quiet, inexpensive place to lunch. The idea caught on, and the Lyons teashops, named for a relative and staffed by "Nippies" in ankle-length black dresses and frilly white caps, spread quickly. Twelve Salmon and Gluckstein descend ants now run the company...
