...About car safety [April 22]: the most salutary single change the manufacturers could introduce would be to make their vehicles so that they could not be turned left. This would eliminate all accidents caused by automobiles drifting across the center line or turning in front of oncoming traffic. Anyone who wanted to turn left could do so simply by making a turn 270° to the right. This might entail the development of new driving techniques, but no real loss would be suffered. With everyone in the country turning to the right, the nation's security and continued prosperity...

The two separate lines of cars will be maintained and, so as not to give left-wingers the chance to say that private interests are getting control of Renault, the two firms will retain their corporate identities...
...carriage rides through the gaily decked-out streets. By night, Jackie braved the crowds to see the flamenco dancers in the private casetas, or tents, set up on the outskirts of the city. By midweek, Garrigues had arrived from Rome to squire Jackie about Seville. Piling her into a car with two other guests of the Albas, Garrigues even managed to take Jackie on an incognita tour of the city, stopping off to visit the cathedral and the Alcázar without being recognized. Swinging into the spirit of the feria, Jackie donned the traditional comb and mantilla to accompany...
