...Time Threat. Arrested in his factory office, White unhesitatingly admitted that he had killed Dugan. Dazed from strain and sleeplessness, White told an incoherent story. When he noticed that Dugan was following him, he said, he stopped his car and got out. Dugan parked, came toward him with his hand in his trench-coat pocket. Thinking that Dugan had a pistol, Malcolm White went "berserk," ag he told it, drew the pistol for which he had got a permit a month before, and started shooting...

Rushed into production to compete with the Chevrolet Impala, the Galaxie series of six models has an elongated Thunderbird roof set on a Fairlane 500 body, lists at $2,303 to $2,591.

Filling the Chinks. Unlike Detroit's designers, who change styles each year, Europe's small-car men hardly touched their existing models this year.

Italy's biggest customer is not the U.S. but Germany, where Fiat's tiny, inexpensive (around $1,000) 600 series has jumped into fourth spot in sales, seventh place last year. Competition is so intense that Fiat recently chopped prices from 2% to 15% clear across the board on its passenger and commercial line. Not to be outdone, Volkswagen lopped $300 (to $1,750) off its de luxe sedan. But the cut was for the Italian market only...
Beyond Europe and the U.S., small-car makers are learning to tap markets in developing nations around the world where economy is more important than power or size. Foreign cars account for 41% of Puerto Rico's car imports. German cars jumped from 14,000 to 22,000 in the first six months of this year in South Africa, from 7,700 to 13,000 in Australia. Tiny Kuwait has bought 1,100 German autos...
