...cars on the U.S. market are imports: the Japanese Honda Civic and the Datsun B-210, which get 39 m.p.g. More light-weight metals will be used. Tires will be smaller, and front ends may be built of plastic. The myriad models that now confuse all but the most ardent car buff will be drastically trimmed-at a substantial savings in production costs. Major model changes will probably be made only once every six years, instead of every three years...
...colorful socks are made of wool or synthetics. They are most frequently worn with cork-soled, open-toed sandals or wedgies, usually to top-or bottom-off jeans or a flared skirt. The most ardent socks supporters seem to be teens and the under-30 set, who love the fun and pizazz of a flashy leg. In Ossining, N.Y., most of the high school girls wear the socks not only in the classroom, but with their gym shorts in physical education classes. They are equally popular in college.

He broke with F.D.R. over the President's plan to enlarge and pack the Supreme Court, earning a reputation as "the man who whipped Roosevelt." As World War II engulfed Europe, Wheeler became an America Firster, charging that aid to besieged Britain would drag the U.S. into a fight that would "plow under every fourth American boy." Defeated for renomination...
...Shero system requires more than brute force. The Flyers' mentor has visited the Soviet Union to study Russian hockey techniques and has read Road to Olympus (the bible of Russian hockey) at least 50 times. Following the Russians, Shero became an ardent believer in conditioning and discipline. As a result, he sends his team onto the ice with a precise plan of attack and defense, plus some rigid rules about avoiding mistakes. He insists, for example, that his team, if leading by one goal, never take long shots at the open net in the final seconds of a game...
