...ship rounded the bend into Suez Harbor, elation broke out all over the bridge. Shiaty. beaming with pride, called: "You happy, Captain?" Said Coppola: "Ten hours! In the 30 years I've been going through the canal, this is the fastest transit. The last trip took 18 hours, and the French pilot had so much wine that we had to keep him awake with coffee. I'm glad they're gone, these foreigners." "We don't need them," said Shiaty. "They won't be back." Then he shook hands with the captain and headed down...

Last week some of them seemed to have found their promised land in the Big Bend country of the Columbia River in the state of Washington...
Predictors & Mercedes. Under the present deal, Studebaker will consolidate all automaking at South Bend, leaving the defense business to Curtiss. With its new funds, it will be able to bring out a 1957 Studebaker line on schedule. However it will probably stop making Packards for a year, wait until 1958, when it can develop an interchangeable body shell with Studebaker along the lines of its Packard Predictor dream car. Another possibility: that West Germany's Daimler-Benz will come in on the agreement, use Studebaker's dealer setup to distribute Mercedes cars and trucks in the U.S. Eventually...
