...revered President Soekarno decided to take unto himself a second. Indonesia's Moslem clubwomen, surprisingly as jealous of female prerogative as those in any U.S. midwestern town, were icy with disapproval, but there was little they could do about it. Blessed by Islamic law and local custom, the nation's second First Lady, a divorcee of 32, was duly ensconced in the presidential palace at Bogor.

The most complicated rear end appears on the Dodge Custom Royal Lancer, whose chrome-scrolled tail fenders sprout sharklike fins and snorkel-like radio antennae. Ford's Thunderbird had a functional reason for a big change in the rear. It hung the tire mount outside to make more room in the luggage compartment...
