...dealers have been startled by a sudden demand for a liqueur called orange Curaçao. The reason can now be told: it was the favorite drink of Trollope's crusty old Duke of Omnium. Oxford University Press, which publishes the six Palliser volumes, quickly cleaned out its stock after the TV program began in late January; it ordered a second printing and is selling that out as well. The sales have been particularly impressive considering the formidable cost of the books ($25 for a boxed set of paperbacks), their daunting length (4,624 pages), and their lack...

Kodak has told 1,000 employees, mostly instant-film workers, that they will go on layoff every sixth week. Polaroid's stock sold late last week for about $33, more than double its 1974 low of $14 (though nowhere near its high of almost $150 five years ago); Kodak's stock, at around $63, is barely above...
