Good Start. Partly to avoid '64 production bugs, and partly because the '63 sales were slow anyhow, Egbert halted Studebaker's production lines for retooling in June-one month earlier than usual.

Producer Emile Littler withdrew his first-night invitation, but Levin cadged a ticket from a friend and got in anyhow. "Well," he wrote later, "I did see it-and it's absurd."
