...been improved by a bolder grille and the elimination of its protruding "gunsight" taillights. The NEW YORKER has a clean and handsome new rear end, will offer luxury lovers optional bucket seats. Replacing the Dodge Lancer (which has been dropped) as the smallest Dodge is a new, intermediate-sized DART that has perky styling and peppy performance. The PLYMOUTH, which in 1962 shrank to an intermediate, has begun to grow again (to an overall length of 205 in.) and has acquired a more substantial look...
...much the YS 11 will do to revive the industry is debatable. Built by the Nihon Aeroplane Manufacturing Co. (which was formed especially for the purpose with 54% government capital), the plane incorporates a high percentage of foreign components, including its twin Rolls-Royce Dart RDa. 10/1 engines. In their desire to sell the YS 11 as a latter-day replacement for the workhorse DC-3, its designers sacrificed both speed (295 m.p.h.) and range (380 miles with a full load of 60 passengers) in order to cut the plane's normal take-off run to as little...
...racy Thunderbird. The compact VALIANT is chunkier than in '62 (and looks more like Rambler's successful American); and Dodge's compact LANCER, instead of being a look-alike to the Valiant, is more mas sive. In a confusing name switch, the Lancer has been renamed DART, and last year's Dart is called DODGE...
...production of its standard-sized Galaxie barely topping 400,000. (Counting all models, Ford has produced 842,000 cars since January, v. 1,300,000 for Chevy.) At the bottom of the heap among the Big Three is Chrysler, whose production of four low-priced lines (Plymouth, Valiant, Dodge Dart and Lancer) adds up to only 288,000 cars so far in 1962-just ahead of the 282,000 Ramblers produced by American Motors. But despite its reduced share of the auto market, Chrysler still had cause for rejoicing last week. Thanks largely to lower costs achieved by closing plants...
...many campuses, the most painful losses were blessed not only with brains but also with a warm human touch. Dart mouth's outdoor-loving Paul Sample, 65, one of the first U.S. artists-in-residence, was fittingly no abstractionist, but a celebrator of human figures in the Brueghel tradition. Once the heavyweight boxing champion of Dartmouth ('21), where he "slept through" an art appreciation course, Sample went on to paint prizefighters, New England landscapes and memorable watercolors of the U.S. Navy in World War II.
