Over national TV hookups, as a smooth-talking pitchman for deodorants, detergents and such (Stopette, Pamper Shampoo, Tunis), he earns, he figures, about $80,000 a year.

Worst of all, said a squat Yorkshire digger, "They 'aven't larnt to talk English proper." Back of this pettiness was an unreasoning fear of unemployment that discourages hard work in all of Britain's heavy industries. Haunted by depression memories of dole and idleness and "bread and drip" (a diet of bread spread with cooking grease), British coal miners expect to safeguard their now-well-paid jobs by keeping...
