...Rena Frye, 49, did interfere when California highway patrolmen stopped Marquette, 21, on suspicion of drunken driving last Aug. 11. His brother Ronald, 22, was a passenger in the battered grey and white Buick. Hearing that her sons were in trouble, diminutive (5 ft.) Mrs. Frye came from her house near by, scolded Marquette, and asked the officers if she could take the car-which her husband needed to drive to his job. A hostile crowd gathered, and the two boys got into a scuffle with the cops. Mrs. Frye jumped on one officer's back, was dragged...

A wheel flew off, the car flipped, and MacPherson wound up in the hospital. He sued the Buick Co. for negligence in failing to inspect the defective wheel. Buick raised what was then a plausible defense: it had never sold MacPherson anything directly, since he bought from a dealer. Therefore, said Buick, it could not be held liable to MacPherson for negligence...
...forward causes greater wear on brakes. The Toronado, a two-door, six-passenger hardtop that is four inches shorter than Oldsmobile's 215-in. Starfire, will come to market in mid-October. Price in Detroit: about $4,500-in the same range as Ford's Thunderbird and Buick's Riviera...
