...blonde's shapely body was pushed slowly against the whirring circular saw. In the orchestra pit, the musicians shielded their instruments and cowered under sheets of butcher paper. The saw ripped menacingly through the girl's clothes, bit into her midriff, began to spew what looked exactly like blood and entrails all over the stage and into the audience. Women shrieked and fainted. Finally, with the blonde all too realistically sawed in half, Argentine Illusionist Richiardi Jr. invited the spectators up for a closer look.

BUICK is banking heavily on its "revolutionary" Dynaflow automatic transmission, which has eliminated the manual shift for normal driving. This year Dynaflow is standard on Buick's big 155-h.p. Roadmaster, extra ($200) on the 120-h.p. Super. Buick's circular "venti-ports" on its front fenders, partly a styling fillip and partly for engine cooling, have already earned the Super the nickname the "three-holer" and the Roadmaster the "four-holer...
