■ Good Housekeeping has launched a
Sharewatchers' Guide. The magazine
bought shares in 10 leading companies,
which donated £1,000 each. Every month
the shares will be monitored and, after
a year, the shares will be sold, with
any proceeds going to charity.
■ Lawyers are hardly poor but a new
report shows that, in fact, solicitors
in private practice earn less than, say
bank managers or the police. 10% of all
self-employed solicitors earned £5,300
or less (before tax) in 1984. A quarter
earned £13,400 or less.
