Lyons & Co., Ltd., known to Britons for years as the conservative proprietor of 170 staid, gold-and-white-fronted teahouses scattered through their country...

Today, after an energetic cleanup campaign, the streets are clean, but the Seine is murky and grey, except for the occasional white fluff of detergent suds. Once England's M.P.s fished for salmon in the Thames at Westminster. No more. In Poland, the Vistula's filtration system is clogged with silt and scum, and Warsaw must tap other water sources.
