...drives that dominate Sloan and Kettering are essentially different from Stagg's. Neither automan has ever been interested in reforming the world in conventional do-gooder style. Both have displayed a knack (which indicates at least a strong unconscious urge) for moneymaking, whereas Stagg, though usually underpaid, has turned down fortunes offered by Hollywood. Yet both Sloan and Kettering have turned, in advanced years, to philanthropy of a highly practical sort: the two are forever commemorated in Manhattan's Sloan-Kettering Institute, research arm of Memorial Center for Cancer and Allied Diseases (TIME, June 27, 1949). Individually, each...
...recession should deepen, a fairer remedy might be the tax cut urged by Automan Curtice, many U.S. economists and some members of Congress, and conditionally approved by Treasury Secretary Robert Anderson. Unlike wage raises, tax cuts would increase purchasing power without upping business costs, and would benefit all earnings instead of just members of muscular unions such as Walter Reuther's U.A.W...

...output of 3,370,100 units in the opening six months, the industry was a full 5.6% ahead of 1956 and enjoying its second-best year in history, behind only record 1955. Yet few huzzas were heard. With dealer stocks of unsold cars approaching the 800,000 mark, every automan knows that he will have to really hustle to sell Detroit's goal of 6,000,000 cars in 1957, and work even harder...
