...three-year 100% increase in the number of persons on welfare and to skyrocketing taxes levied in order to keep the whole mess of an incompetent administration "moving". Afraid? Who us? Every ten hours in our "fun" city, there is one murder, two rapes, 32 assaults, 62 robberies, 88 car thefts, 198 burglaries and 170 thefts. Three years of Lindsay and there are almost 300 more murders annually than in 1965, 45,000 more robberies and 120,000 more burglaries. We're not afraid-we're terrified. CHARLES J. MYSAK Brooklyn...
...Fred Spence, 37, who lives in The Bronx and runs a delivery service, "It's just a fad. You stop in a gas station for gas, and the man gives you a flag." He has one on his car window and several in a cigar box on the front seat. In Detroit, a college student explained his windshield emblem: "The police like this sort of thing, and maybe, if I'm speeding and they see the flag, they won't pull me over."

...sports-car aficionados, the sinuous lines and throaty snarl of a Ferrari are the ultimate symbols of automotive sex appeal.

A merger announcement last week said that "the current relationship of technical collaboration will be trans formed during the year into equal participation...
also had eyes on Ferrari. Founder Enzo Ferrari, a onetime racing driver who rules his 30-year-old Modena plant with almost ducal authority, at first turned away both suitors, though he did agree to design the engine for Fiat's Dino Spider sports car. Since then, however, the prancing black horse of Modena, the longstanding insignia of Ferrari, has worn few winner's laurels. So far this year, Ferrari's single-seat Formula 1 cars have broken down in three major races - Monte Carlo, the Grand Prix of Spain and of South Africa. The laborious production...
Almost inevitably, the name "mobile home" conjures up visions of a trailer hitched to a car and constantly on the move. Today's mobile homes are nothing of the sort. They rate their name only because they are trucked to special parks, where they are placed on concrete platforms and usually stay in place permanently. Put together by semiskilled workers on the assembly line, the mobiles have been largely unaffected by the soaring costs of conventional construction. Within the past ten years, they have become by far the No. 1 source of low-cost housing in the U.S., accounting...
