...loose on a crowded highway, he is playing a dangerous game; first prize may be the last. But last week the dodgers and weavers got a break. At Florida's abandoned Flagler Beach Airport, even the local cops turned out to cheer as amateurs and pros whipped through brand-new driving tests devised by the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing. Instead of NASCAR's usual straight dashes down the tide-smoothed sands of Daytona Beach, the association concocted its 1958 stock-model performance tests as a yardstick of automobile safety, based them on qualities that...
From a drafty shack with primitive plumbing in a shabby section of Cedartown, Ga., Lee Cantrell, 35, last week joyfully moved his wife and two children into a brand-new modern house. Yet Cantrell, a $2,350-a-year clerk who had been living in the only place he could afford, will pay only $23 a month plus utilities, less rent than he paid for his shack.

Tear-gas bombs thrown by the outnumbered and disorganized troops were...
...First Look. Hanisch kept his word, though he admitted he had passed by the plant late one night after a bridge party and "damned near knocked off three cars looking the other way." Now it was opening day. With Architect Stone, Owner Hanisch rode up to his brand-new, three-acre, $3,000,000 combined office and plant in Pasadena. He saw a dazzling, 400-ft.-long, low, white-and-gold façade, faced with an airy grille of masonry, half given over to a carport spaced by hanging saucer-gardens. Black-bottomed reflecting pools reached under the cantilevered...
