Sales on the Rise. Opel's challengers are three new sedans whose handsome lines show a trace of Detroit breeding while retaining a pleasing European touch. Designed by former Chevrolet Stylist Clare MacKichan, who was dispatched to Germany for the job, the cars use already developed engines and identical body shells, are made by Germany's most automated auto plants. Opel was thus able to price its $2,270 Kapitan, its $3,050 Admiral and its $4,400 Diplomat as much as $300 to $1,700 below Mercedes models of roughly similar size, interior appointments, power and styling...
OPINION The Perfect Platform Amid all the Republican noncandidates, Clare Boothe Luce last week went out of her way to reveal that she too is not a candidate. In a witty, Associated Press interview, the former Connecticut Congresswoman and U.S. Ambassador to Italy quipped: "I'd enter the New Hampshire primary in a minute if I had a campaign manager, an organization and a political base.

Dr. Madden dismissed vagotomy alone as unsatisfactory, and gave the Weinberg operation a low rating because too often it fails to effect a cure...
Wasted Talent. Only 8% of young Britons get higher education, compared with 25% in the U.S., and of that number about half attend technical and teacher colleges that give no university degrees-a coveted badge of social distinction. In 1962, says Sir Eric Ashby, master of Clare College, Cambridge, "we selected about 33,000 young people to go to universities out of an age group of some 700,000. This represents only a fraction of the pool of high ability in Britain...
