Well, maybe there were a few small differences, home being where the heart is, and all. "It's a beautiful country," said Dobrynin. "Very much like Russia." The Rockies reminded him of the Caucasus, Wyoming of the Steppes, and Yellowstone's panhandling bears "are from Siberia." When it came...

...front-row table sat John Gordon, president of General Motors Corp., and seven of his top executives. Cracked the President: "I am proud and inspired and stimulated that there is a Ford in my future. And with Jack Gordon here to night, I hope there is a Chevrolet.

" Iacocca decided that he did not want a car to compete against foreign sports cars, which sold only about 80,000 a year in the U.S., but against Chevrolet's successful Monza, which was selling about 250,000 a year. After a competition between the Ford, the Lincoln-Mercury, and the corporate styling studios, Iacocca looked at all three together and picked out a Ford Division model that somehow seemed to pop out at him: "It was the only...

...people a year. Some researchers now dress themselves as laborers and mix with workers in taverns near a competitor's plant. One-way mirrors and electronic bugs in showrooms and at auto shows have become standard tools. At last week's International Auto Show in Manhattan, Chevrolet conducted a sneak test of the styling that will mark its 1965 Corvair; it displayed a Chevy II Nova Special that it presented as a "dream car," but whose lower half is almost identical in design to the proposed Corvair...
