...pony stables and, says one visitor, "the only treehouse in the world that looks as if it were designed by an architect." A major attraction of the house is the huge kitchen, which might have been lifted out of the pages of Gone With the Wind; it has no chrome or eye-level ovens, but an old gas stove large enough to have turned out food for a whole regiment of McClellan's troops. Actually, the kitchen does not get as much use as it might; because the press of his duties so often makes him miss dinner...
...with reasonable outside dimensions-very much, in fact, like the cars of a decade ago. Having found that buyers insist on all kinds of fancy extras (Chevy's 1961 Corvair got off to a slow start until the Monza model came out last year with bucket seats, extra chrome, luxurious interior fittings and prestige insignia), the pizazz experts are following the trend in most models and providing the whole gamut of sporty touches except for helmets and goggles. And, depending on the model and the price, all the companies are engineering changes that will per mit longer intervals between...
...Both Dodge and Plymouth retain their 1961 engines but will seem a lot livelier because they are 300-400 lbs. lighter. Plymouth's Valiant now becomes Chrysler's Valiant, gets only a few physical changes: an end to the simulated rear spare "donut" wheel, wider bands of chrome and round, flush taillights instead of the canted, protruding ones of 1961. Dodge's Lancer now has a horizontal, convex grille surrounding its dual twin headlights. The big change in the Chryslers and Imperials is loss of the big, sweeping tailfins...
...which a 1.9% share was supplied by its smaller version, the Tempest, which has a four-cylinder engine that brings its price down into the Corvair bracket. Long-ailing Buick and its new smaller Special model climbed from 2.5% to 4.1% of the market, thanks to less chrome and more performance. (One competitor calls Buick's mechanical performance this year "about the best in the industry.") Oldsmobile, with a loyal core of repeat buyers, inched up from 5.3% to 5-5%. though its smaller F85 model brought in only a disappointing 1.1%. Cadillac, more conservatively styled than in years...
...such low grade that blast furnaces cannot handle them, conditions them for the second step. This is a Udy-designed electric smelting furnace that finishes the job. The slag from the electric furnace can be put through a series of similar furnaces to draw off other metals such as chrome, copper, zinc and manganese. Thus, for the first time, a smeltery can work iron ore over with the same thoroughness that an oil refinery uses to squeeze every last product out of crude...
