Double Bow-Out. To do that, the Colts will have to rely, as always, on the passing arm of 37-year-old Johnny Unitas. In the A.F.C. championship game against the Oakland Raiders last week. Johnny U. completed only eleven of 29 passes, but most were long gainers in clutch situations that helped lead the Colts to a 27-17 victory. Showing a newfound aggressiveness, the Colt defense sacked Raider quarterbacks five times and intercepted them three more. A late-blooming rookie running back, Norm Bulaich, bulldozed his way to 71 yards and two touchdowns in 22 carries...
Help from G.M. The 1971 model year looks like the year of the small car, and Chrysler is well positioned to catch the trend. In January, it will begin importing two minicars, the Japanese-made Colt and the English-produced Cricket. Added to the Valiant and Dart, which have captured 37% of this year's compact market, they will give Chrysler the broadest range of small cars offered by any U.S. automaker...
There is a strong element of luck in the turnaround. The strike that has shut down General Motors undoubtedly has helped Chrysler's fourth-quarter sales, and it will also prevent G.M.'s Vega from getting the long sales head start on the Colt and Cricket that once looked likely.

...most of the early articles, and liberally sprinkled the magazine with the Rube Goldberg-esque diagrams that he made for his machines. But within a year of its founding, he sold it. He had an idea for a rifle with a revolving chamber and foolishly sold it to Samuel Colt of Hartford for $100. In 1849, Porter tried to promote his old St. Helena airship as a safe way to fly gold rushers to California in three days. The years passed. No one would listen; he was ahead of his time, a crackpot, an eccentric. None of his inventions left...
...footwear once produced by U.S. workers are increasingly entering the domestic market from countries that have pools of lower-wage labor. Next year all of Ford's small Mavericks will be built in Canada, and Chrysler last week announced that in 1971 it will introduce a Dodge Colt line manufactured in Japan by Mitsubishi. For the first time, an American automaker will offer a Japanese-made car in its showrooms...
