...usual tariff cut amounted to 20%, though some were notably higher. In the reduction involving the biggest volume of trade, the U.S. pared the duty on foreign cars by about $21.50, while Europe lowered its tariffs against U.S. autos by $126. Though President Kennedy singled out this deal to crow about, the reduction will scarcely help Detroit because the Common Market's new auto tariff against outsiders is still a stiff 22% O. the U.S.'s 6½%), and exorbitant excise and horsepower taxes increase the European price of Ford's Comet to about...

Pitcher Ford put it best: "Gee, I hope...

The eight teams in the Southwest Conference* have produced some 65 All-Americas, are the breeding grounds for such superb professionals as Yale Lary, Kyle Rote, John David Crow and Bobby Layne. Still, a national championship is only a distant memory in Texas. Perhaps the biggest reason is the fratricidal nature of the bruising Southwest Conference, in which each team must play all the others each season-a harrowing schedule from which it is nearly impossible to escape unscathed...
