George Meany's orders to the 40,000-member United Textile Workers of America were tough and terse. To avoid suspension, barked the A.F.L.-C.I.O. president, the textile workers would have to clean house, bounce Secretary-Treasurer Lloyd Klenert, who, the McClellan committee revealed, had used union funds for a down payment on a house, charged the U.T.W.A. with such expenditures as his wife's brassières and $2,564.65 for 24 My Fair Lady theater parties.

Gone are the thick rear-window struts, which G.M. stylists admitted were a flub; gone, too, is Buick's famed "porthole" trademark. The new Buick has clean fenders, a waffle-iron grille with 160 square nubs, an improved "flight-pitch" Dynaflow transmission, new air-cooled aluminum brakes and a new, high-priced ($4,663 top) Limited series. Olds got the same extensive body change, plus an improved Hydra-Matic transmission and air-suspension ride. One surprising change...
