...story: the memory seemed too perfect, the details too complete. How could they be sure he was telling the truth? If they wanted to check his story, Lee Crary replied, all they had to do was pick up the young, blond (ducktail haircut) fellow driving a Chevrolet. With no hesitation Lee rattled off the license number...
Some of the conferees upheld the value of preserving diversity within unity. Asked the Tennessee delegation: "If competition between Chevrolet and Pontiac works so well within the same corporation [General Motors], why not let the Congregationalists and Episcopalians compete within one big church?" The two practical plans for unity which will be offered at Oberlin embody just this principle. One plan would join all churches that function "episcopally, congregationally and presbyterially," leaving local congregations free to administer the sacraments of Baptism and Communion in their own manner.

And to fight it out again with Chevrolet next year, Ford will be forced to spend almost as much-all of which, added to other inflated costs, means higher prices...
When Charles H. Percy took over Bell & Howell Co. eight years ago, he had one main goal for the company that gave Hollywood its standard movie camera. "We have the Cadillac of our industry," he said. "We want the Chevrolet, Pontiac and Buick too." By last week President Percy had reached his goal. To dealers went a brand-new camera, designed as the last word for amateur moviemakers: an 8-mm. color camera equipped with a tiny photoelectric cell that automatically and continuously adjusts the lens to every light condition...
