This boy -meets -girl -in -Manhattan romp proves conclusively that New York is a summer festival where the bluebird of happiness has solved such problems as air pollution. Sandra, clad in Jean Louis dresses, plays an actress and part-time cleaning woman who disinfects Bobby's bachelor flat every day, never dreaming that he is the same young man she bumps into all around town. Nor does he suspect the identity of his sweepheart. Bobby is a rakehell who keeps a card file of his conquests with horse-racy annotations ("Slow starter but good in the stretch"). His flat...
...Kazantzakis wrestled with God all his life, without ever quite determining who his adversary was. Some of his gloomy judgments have tempted critics to the conclusion that Kazantzakis was even more nihilistic than Nietzsche, and this book can support that view.

Nissan's Bluebird, the top Japanese seller in the J.S., is priced at $1,696 to appeal to Volkswagen-size pocketbooks...
...speed record, gunning his twin-engined, 2,500-h.p. Railton Mobil Special up to 394.196 m.p.h. Over the years, dozens of daredevils have tried to crack Cobb's mark, and few sporting pursuits have been so costly to participants in terms of money and life. The turbine-powered Bluebird of Britain's Donald Campbell is, so far, a $5,000,000 flop. Three years ago, Utah's Athol Graham was killed when his homemade car lost a wheel at better than 300 m.p.h. Last year California's Glenn Leasher drove his jet-powered Infinity past...
