...been Ford's most successful product since the Model T. The small-car field will soon be crowded. American Motors' new entry, the Hornet, will come out this fall and eventually replace A.M.C.'s leisurely-selling $1,998 Rambler. General Motors is developing a model code-named the XP-887 and expects to have it in Chevrolet showrooms within 18 months. It will probably be smaller than the Maverick, and Ford is already designing a "sub-compact," the Phoenix, to counter the XP-887. Only Chrysler has yet to decide whether to enter the field...
When the Socialists entered into the Grand Coalition with the Christian Democrats in 1966, Heinemann became Minister of Justice. In less than 21 years in office, he accomplished more than all his predecessors combined. As part of a massive revision of Germany's archaic 19th century legal code, he has already deleted the prohibition of adultery and homosexuality between consenting adults and broadened the right of journalists to print hitherto classified government information without fear of treason proceedings. In addition, Heinemann counseled the Communists how to go about re-establishing a party in West Germany without running afoul...
...Hidden Code. Can it be that the proverb-literally, "before the word"-provides a clue to the common denominator of all human thought? This possibility has been raised by George B. Milner, 50, a linguist at the University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies. Many anthropologists and linguists have long suspected that the human mind obeys a hidden code-just as the computer follows instructions programmed into it before it begins to "think." In an article for Britain's New Society magazine, Milner contends that the proverb may stand breathtakingly near to the source...
Although sexual promiscuity is its membership fee, the groupie subsociety has its own curious moral code. It has even developed class strata of sorts. At the bottom are such aberrant types as "the Plaster Casters," a pair of young Chicago fetishists who, as their name implies, have a peculiar hobby. They make plaster casts of rock stars' anatomies-certain parts of their anatomies, that is. Only slightly higher on the social scale are the "kiss and tell" groupies, who collect and trade the names of their conquests-often falsely...
...Bleu than Folies-Bergere. On Julia Child's low-budget public TV series, the wine was faked with a mixture of water and Gravy Master. Graham guzzles the real stuff from a goblet throughout the program (in seeming violation of Article 3, Section 17 of the Broadcasters' Code). His other constant prop is an arch smirk. He prances onto the kitchen set the way Sugar Ray Robinson used to approach the ring, then pirouettes so that the tittering ladies in the studio audience can admire his costume du jour. He has 27 of them-black...
