...inside the county lines north and south of town guard the approach to Ludowici. Placed there by Governor Lester Maddox two weeks ago, they warn approaching motorists of "speed traps" and "clip joints" in large black letters on a white background. State Trooper Thomas Randall sits in his blue Chevrolet guarding the southernmost sign against Ludowici's irate citizens. Occasionally Randall puts aside his Playboy and climbs out to chat with a tourist, such as H.E. Phillips from Beaufort, S.C. "I've heard about this place in the state of Washington," says Phillips, snapping a picture of Randall...
...being more strongly challenged by Ford than at any other time since 1954. Ford leads in the growing overseas market, and is increasing its foreign sales 2½ times as fast as G.M. In the U.S. market during the first half of the model year, G.M.'s Chevrolet lost its lead in both cars and trucks to Ford for the first time in 35 years; in early April, Chevy regained the lead. Pontiac has also lost its traditional No. 3 spot-to Chrysler's Plymouth. G.M.'s first-quarter earnings were down to $1.25 per share...

A five-week walkout at an American Motors Corp. plant in Kenosha, Wis., which was settled last week, cost A.M.C. more than 30,000 cars. Another strike at a Chevrolet plant in Flint, Mich., has reduced General Motors' production by 4,375 cars a week, for nine weeks so far. Ford's new Maverick is selling at the rate of 400,000 a year but is drawing sales from the company's other lines. Ford salesmen believe, however, that this will be the year...
...long shot in June to become a favorite at the end of October. If he wins, it will probably not surprise too many Americans casually versed in politics. Why, after all, should the country's largest metropolis trade in its Rolls Royce of a mayor for a back-model Chevrolet? John Lindsay's national reputation alone would be a formidable asset in any other city. Add his good looks and an opposition party torn to ribbons, and it seems fair to venture Lindsay could win a walloping victory at the polls of any town north of the Mason-Dixon Line...
