...accelerate the behemoth up to 63 m.p.h. in 9.7 seconds, faster than some sports cars, and the four-wheel disk brakes can stop it on a pfennig. A pneumatic suspension system keeps the car on an even keel through the sharpest curve, invisible wires in the rear window banish ice and frost, and a poke of the finger simultaneously locks all four doors, the trunk and the gas tank...
Cold Prestige. Air conditioning has a way to go to win full acceptance.

At week's end Reuther decided to increase pressure on the auto companies by delaying until...
Though they balked until a plane was actually warming up to cart them off into exile, King Saud's five rebellious sons finally kissed Feisal's hand in submission last week. Their capitulation may ease family pressure to banish Saud himself. Meanwhile Feisal, whose reforms in the past 18 months have disarmed the regime's Nasserite opposition, found his hand greatly strengthened. In an interview with an Arab journalist at the Saudi capital of Riyadh, the relaxed Regent even hinted that he plans to lead the country to true constitutional monarchy...
