Some tavernes have already closed, and others may soon be forced to follow their example unless their musicians agree to share the losses by accepting smaller fees. One host tried offering patrons free plastic plates and cups to tear. The tranquilizer does not always work; a frustrated drinker in the capital's Skorpios tavern last week commandeered a dozen plates and had just finished shattering the last one when police grabbed him. It was the first arrest under the new decree. The word is about in the capital that some Athenians feel so blue about the latest blue...
...Long Island Railroad are accustomed to seeing themselves as victims of a callous and capricious railroad management. The line's 150,000 New York commuters, said Nassau County Leader Eugene Nickerson last week, "travel in rolling slums -if they roll at all." When four commuters who share this opinion got together recently and staged a minor rebellion, they learned just how tough the authorities can be.

American pur chases of steel from abroad last year reached a record $1.5 billion...
Nothing Like Fear. Disposables already worry operators of the nation's 400 diaper services, which have an $85 million-a-year share of the market. Such services spare mothers from having to launder diapers, but throwaways have the extra advantage of eliminating malodorous diaper containers. Inevitably, there is a Diaper Service Industry Association, based in Philadelphia. Its executive vice president, John A. Shiffert, says: "I would be less than honest if I told you that the association is not concerned about the competition presented by disposable diapers...
