...Medical School ('53), Dr. William Haddon Jr. adopted the custom of wearing bow ties because "I didn't want a tie draping over patients." Today, as administrator of the three-month-old National Traffic Safety Agency, Haddon still remains considerate of his patients. Last week, amid the chrome of the annual Detroit Auto Show, the industry's brass gathered to hear what Haddon's agency had in mind. To their vast relief, they discovered that they could live pretty well with Haddon's opening list of mandatory safety regulations...
...wartime Secretary of Commerce. His Houston Endowment Inc. had laid out $7,300,000 for the travertine-faced structure that is the centerpiece for Houston's new cultural complex. No expense was spared. When a fireplug by the entrance created a jarring esthetic note, it was chrome-plated. And when Jesse T.

At the stomper sits Heavenly Blues (Peter Fonda), a cool fool dragging a black leather jacket, bronk boots, hair as long as a girl's, and a German Iron Cross. With his free hand, H.B. picks his nose and then thoughtfully scratches his crotch. On the stingy seat, wearing a grab-me sweater, sits his sheep (Nancy Sinatra). Behind them 20 other double-straddled sickles...
