Europeans are awed by Honda's performance. "It's time British firms copied Japanese know-how," grumped London's Daily Mirror. One British manufacturer took a Honda bike apart, marveled: "It's made like a watch. And it isn't a copy of anything." Basking in such reluctant foreign tributes, Honda in 1960 produced 750,000 machines-20% of total world output-and made pre-tax profits of $14.2 million on sales of $136.5 million. This year's racing successes have obliged Honda to increase production to 85,000 machines a month, boosted...

In a virulent attack broadcast by the BBC, Connor castigated Wodehouse as "an old playboy" who had "fallen on his knees and worshipped Hitler."

Though the stock market is no longer as faithful a mirror of the total economy as it once was, it inevitably reflected some of the caution. While the Dow-Jones index of blue chip industrials last,week inched back toward its alltime high of 706, many of the highly speculative "glamour" or "futuristic" issues stood far below their recent giddy peaks. Some had been selling at 100 or more times earnings. For one list of ten selected glamour stocks-(see chart), the fall-off since May amounted to nearly...
