...exact and complete translation of your admirable story was published in Vatan. We received it in a cable of 5,200 words-quite a record for a Turkish daily-and published it in two parts (on account of a frozen quota of newsprint). There was an enormous demand for copies, so we had to publish the whole story again, adding your cover and the pictures after TIME itself arrived. The objective review of the personality of Menderes made a deep impression on the public here, and caused widespread discussions...

One big reason is that Harper obviously sees a chance to land more G.M. accounts if he does a good job on Buick. Furthermore, there were prospects that Buick would step up its spending in an all-out effort to bolster its badly skidding sales, hurt by Buick's stodgy styling. Buick, in third place only two years ago, is now in fifth, behind Plymouth and Oldsmobile. What Ragsdale apparently...
