...companies have put into service twelve ships of 200,000 tons or more-called "oilbergs"-and they have 170 more on order in yards from Bilbao to Yokohama. Last week California Standard contracted for a pair of 260,000-tonners from Japan's Mitsubishi. Britain's Scott Lithgow group two weeks ago landed its first order for an oilberg, a 250,000-tonner to be constructed for Anglo Norness, a Bermuda-based shipping company. The builder will launch the huge ship in two sections and weld them together in the water. "We don't know which half...

Lawrence Senelick has studied his Pistols and Shallows until he has assembled the whole bag of Shakespearean character tricks, and he executes them perfectly. John Lithgow makes an engaging brother to Tom Jones, who carries off the villain's part with great authority. And Sheila Hart, if she would sharpen her diction a bit, would make a perfect world-weary mother...
