What interests the crusty, 40-year veteran are broad-stroked stories on important, reasonably current topics-desegregation, the Common Market, disarmament-and if they often seem dull, what wouldn't alongside the clothes-shedding Spring-maids or the rounded Spun-lo panties girl...

Partly to satisfy U.S. trustbusters, Alcoa in 1928 tied its foreign branches into a single package and spun them off as Aluminium.
