Before the show closedt, $30 million in orders had been witten up, nearly as ranch bus- iniess as al niakes had done at the show a year canlier. Since then, 'the Jaguar plant in Coven- try bas been on an overtime basis. But Jaguar production stililagý,s weil behind demiand. Only t60 o! the lhand-tooied XK-E's camne off the assembly line last week, though by late next month output is scheduled to reach the 150-a-week mark. Much ta, the chagrin o! British spartscar loyers, wlo have been doledi out a mere 60 XK-E's so fan, 80 per cent a! production is ticketed for the US. But there mnay be a brand-new Jaguar on the road soon, designed specifi- caliy with the British market 'in mind.

Josef Ruegg foundci ut the hard way, but mianaged ta heaive the 184 paunci stone a distance of fine feet.ý The stane has been in use sinc-e the early 1300s. A Most Worthy son 0f A Great Father' Thec.late John Lardner was only 47 whien his cancer ended in 1960. He possessed one o! the most saphisticated senses o! lu- mon a! the cunnent journalistic generatian. His prose was sinewy and spare, acconding ta modemn tastes, and rnaved in lean, brisk tempos. Yet le maniaged ta leav e a curlous impression -o! belonging ta a nîchly nornantic past. A faintly exciting promise in al l e wrote suaggested that le faund himrsel! in a fading but golden wanid peopied by thc final but flot unworthy representatives o! a lcgendary race. Wletler deal- ing with hard-bitten maPrine7s o! Worid Wan 11, flat-faced pnize- fiýglters, or even television per- sonalities, le couid place a cer- tain lonest aura about the peo- ple le iiked. Landnen wrate about war as a combat correspondent; about promîinent people and habit pat- ternis as a social historian; about theat.er anid televisian as a cnitic. SAil areas except the theater are nepresentcd in this collection a! essays entitled The World of John Lardner. But, like lis father Ring Landner, le neyer abandoned for long the field o! sports. The world of John Lardnen may le said ta rest on the un- articulate-d but firra code o! the sportsmn. HI-onor, at lcast with- in ane's civen set o! rules, and courage: thiese were the impor- tanit virtues. The people Lardrier adrired have innumerable fauits, and thein often narrow areas o! ex- cellence vary astonishïingly. But tley al shane tIc sportsma1i's ability tlo e clarming in vîctory- and stoic in defeat. Tnc people to whorn le did not responid - Lindbergh and~ Jack Paxar, a trange paîiîng, are the notable exarnples amiong these essays - le juidged a-s cither graceiess winners or poar lasers. He prized chidlike exuber- ance; le did not panticulanly val'ue restraînt beyond its pre- ence in a craf t. (On the tapic a! drinking in the United States, for instance, le couid le dis- tressingly casuaL.)lHe loved a gorgeons sort o! seif-dramatiza- tion; le could not abide peo)plp- wlo took, thernselves solemnnly, Landner's piecés are essentiai- ly portrait sketches: fnom the daffiest o! the Dodigers, Babe Herman, ta the young GI on the Iwo Jima beadhhead, it is the diversîty o! humnan temperament that fascinate2s hi. Like lis father, he lad an ex.- act car for speech and even more, a deadly sense for just what t letrays. (TIc panody o! Mn. Paan bs devastating precisely becauise o! its tonal accuracy.) Lardnier -Was a sharp ratIer Vlan aPprofound commentator. He wrote frani a pose o! m ildly lored nonchalance, good-humnor- ed skepticism, and ligîtiy ac- quined lcarning, as ih were an undengradua-te wonking for a gcntl- eran's C. He assumed, pnobabry correctly, tlat readens vlco werie lntenestcd cauid dis- cern the conscientiouisness and craftsmanship behînd the pose. Ail jaurnalists have a temnpta- tian ta turn life into a good story. Lardner, with his gfif t for starytelling and his genially bi- zarre wit, must hiave experienced this temptation more than most, But when the people he wrote about imperceptibly bcm r myths, ir seemed less a matter of professionaIllypu,,mped-up enthu- siasrn than, the uncalcuilated vision o! a gentIe r 7omantic, not quite rpsigned ta his turnes. And perhaps this is the best tribute thiat can be paid hlmn as a -writ- er and as a man. Spcice And Silence Fur In The North The ice-coId water was mnirror 4--alm, and our bow wave cninki- ed the pencii-sharp reflections of the mountains. Surprising-ly we ran into huge swells inside the fjord. There was littie ta see because of the heavy mist blowý- ing down over the coastal i ioun- tains froni the hinterland of ice. It was the turne ta sleep. 1 went clIown ta the cabin and climbed into my bunk, nlot bothening ta undiress. As 1I dozed ,I -heard Mr, Shirer saying something about a box o!

This was the most beauti- fui -Fjord we visited. Glaciers, several miles wide, filled the head of the fjord. Mountain peaks, their black tops looking lilce polished marbie, shoýwedJ only a few hundred feet above the thickness of ice. Ahead of us in the blue distance were the three 4,000-f eet high cnown- shaped peaks of Svea, Nora and iDans, famrous landmarks of Spitsbergen. Sorne parts of the fjord were eut sharply frorn view by protruding headlands of irock. The fjord was alrnost fuil of drifting ice; some pieces hard- ly showed whl-iie others wvere nearly as long as aur slip.
