...mile outdoor classroom into four segments, runs off exercises in each one-as many as a dozen in a day and night. With the completion of each exercise, he folds his 160-lb., 6-ft. frame over the chart tables, carefully puts on his reading glasses for a close, almost wordless examination of the results. And the exercises continue unceasingly, each one posing new problems, each one bringing some disappointment, yet each one bringing Thach and Alfa a step or so closer to vital answers. Such an exercise was that in which the Sea Leopard recently "destroyed" Washington with...

Patterson, virtually unmarked, was still champion...

Buick was slated to start first; four Chrysler divisions-Dodge, De Soto, Chrysler and Imperial-planned to tailgate close behind. Chevrolet and Plymouth were both to close out their 1958 model runs, quickly move new dies into place for 1959. Only Ford held aloof, will produce 1958 Mercurys, Fords, Lincolns and Edsels through August...
