Crime and Punishment. Memphis' Negroes are in a volatile mood over such recent cases as that of Larry James Mitchell Holt, 24, who crumpled the fender of his red Dodge while fleeing (at an estimated 40 m.p.h.) from a pursuing police car. The car's glass was unbroken; yet it took 180 stitches to close gashes in Holt's face and head. Holt contends that the two cops dragged him from his car and beat him. The cops maintain that Holt's injuries came in the crash, but do not explain why no blood was found...
...cops. "Hey, come here," commanded one, grabbing his arm. "Get yourself off this corner right now." When Stewart replied that he was there to buy canned milk, the cop spat, "Don't go getting smart." Stewart and eight witnesses claim that he was grappled into the squad car and pounded with night stick, fist and flashlight. Subsequent photos show Stewart's nose broken, eyes swollen nearly shut on a puffy face, the back of his head cratered by deep open wounds. Stewart received a probationary sentence for loitering and resisting arrest...

Frey and his old mentor Lee Iacocca (TIME Cover, April 17, 1964) saw the Mustang into production two years before Chevrolet could react. For his work, Frey was well rewarded: in 1965 he became head of the Ford division. Last year he moved up to a six-figure-a-year vice-presidency in charge of product development...
Like a 707. Top of the new line is the Ambassador, which remains the industry's only car with air conditioning as a standard item. The new version is wider and four inches longer than the 1968 model, adding up to a full-size equivalent of Ford and Chevrolet. A.M.C. hopes that new grille and taillight treatment, a sculptured hood à la Lincoln Continental and a dashboard that would do credit to a Boeing 707 will boost the Ambassador. Currently, 1968-model sales are running slightly behind the 1967 level...
