CHRYSLER'S "car of the future" looks like a giant whitewashed Jeep, is 34 ft. high, has genuine bucket seats, and a lot of clabberdash on the dash. The whole show pokes fun at auto-mania, is one of the sprightliest in the transportation area...
Lions & Goats. "Organized bands entering city," Hoyt observed laconically as the battle began. "Firing into air and possibly on consulate. Just saw Congolese in tattered dress, presume Popular Army." As the rebels pushed past the consulate, he sent USIA Officer Philip R. Mayhew, 29, off on a "successful, courageous dash" to the airport with two American girl tourists. The firing intensified, and Hoyt messaged: "Pole shot and rope cut by gunfire, but consulate flag still flying." At one point, rebels actually broke into the consulate, and Hoyt prudently retired with his four assistants to the "strong room," leaving a bottle...
After the Macho. Few presidents have ever had a more difficult act to follow. With his dash and magnetic oratory, Betancourt was a macho, the fiery tough-guy who helped topple Dictator Marcos Pérez Jiménez in 1958, tamed the military, walloped the Communists, and rammed through the initial economic and social reforms that started Venezuela on the road to recovery.

After 23 days on the grueling, 2,816-mi. course that snakes in and out of six countries, only 81 of 132 starters were still riding as the tour swung into the final 17-mi. dash for Paris. Anquetil had a bare 14-sec. lead over his closest pursuer, but then bike racing's reigning rajah turned it on and pumped across the finish line for a 55-sec. victory, slimmest margin in the race's 51 years...
