Chrysler last week became the first automaker to show off its 1964 models, and President Lynn A. Townsend described them as "the tried and true." That was a good description of what Detroit will offer the public this fall. Riding the crest of what seems likely to be the best auto year in history, the automakers have prudently left their successful 1963 models largely unchanged, relying on styling and mechanical refinements to provide a difference to sell. Even refinements can be expensive; Chrysler's changes will cost the company about $125 million...
Sundry Other Evils. On the first two convention ballots, Kefauver held solid leads, sat drinking beer in a hotel room and said, "I've never been more delighted in my life." But that was the crest of his career. On the third roll-call ballot, the big-city Democratic leaders ganged up on him. Kefauver was whipped. He trudged into the convention hall, tried wearily to get to the platform to pull out of the fight.

Negro moderates suffer vilification, or the threat of physical harm, for their moderation. White politicians who have achieved power through their championship of civil rights find themselves hooted by audiences who think they have not been civil righteous enough...
...house was easily imposing enough to induce such speculation. It stood at the top of a crest overlooking the Charles River with a large expanse of ground stretching before it and somehow had a way of appearing inordinately pompous whenever a Congregationalist should happen by. The neat rows of Ionic pilasters and windows, the classical doorway and the stately scale of the house, contributed to its attractiveness. Now the Master's Residence at Adams House, the building has lost its view of the river and most of its ground but its handsome interior and facade remain intact...
