...finally, if you go in search of non-Topps companies, don't look for bubble gum. I still can't open a pack of baseball cards without salivating, but only Topps is allowed by the courts to carry gum, which is supposedly its trademark in the card market. Fleer offers a team sticker for your lunchbox and Donruss has pieces of a 63-part Stan Musiaal jigsaw puzzle (last year's was Roberto Clemente).

A man of striking appearance, with grey hair and his trademark beard, the Swedish actor explains in nearly flawless English that the only language he could speak is Swedish. He says he took up acting because he is a coward, just as he writes novels and screenplays out of necessity, though he incidentally has the "possibility to publish...
