...Strala, Scot Laughton and Tom Deacon have created an impossibly pretty, thoroughly thought-out floor lamp. It has steel tubes finished in black epoxy; the conical shade is spun aluminum; the green spherical on-off dimmer switch is patinated brass. The result is a lamp that alludes serenely to light -- the moon and the sun -- without fuss or frill...
...always teddibly English and utterly U (though Connery was a working- class Scot).

Countryman portrays the sort of unflashy youth who hangs around his brighter classmates but inevitably is relegated to the business chores -- for which he demonstrates an acumen far better suited to adult life than their verbal fireworks. The slow ripening of his self- confidence...
