...gleaming, 13-car train, a "chancellery on wheels," pulled in the day before carrying a huge entourage, with the Germans' own communications, their own police, Mercedes sedans, and huge stocks of their own food (sauerkraut, sausages, choice wines). Even the motorized gangway that pulled up to the door of Adenauer's Super Constellation had been shipped in ahead...
...rainy day when Florence's Mayor Giorgio La Pira was a Deputy in Rome, he characteristically started for the door without umbrella, overcoat, or hat. A fellow Deputy insisted on lending him a raincoat. An hour later, La Pira returned, dripping from head to foot. To the astonished Deputy, he explained: "I came across an old man in the street who was cold . . ." "Yes," stammered the Deputy, "but that was my raincoat."

...cars, which will come out in mid-October, represent a $175 million face-lifting job on the 1955 models. Chief body change: high, straightaway lines on the rear fenders and bigger taillights.

Plymouth will have a new, higher-powered engine. Fanciest gadget in the line is a "Highway Hi-Fi," a CBS record player that can be mounted just below the center of the instrument...
Ford Motor Co. kicked off its major 1956 sales pitch last week with a car safety forum in Detroit, announced that no-spring door latches, "deep-dish" steering wheels (many drivers have been impaled on the steering column) and padded rearview mirrors would be standard equipment on all models. Dashboard and visor cushion pads and front-seat belts will be optional but sold at cost ($25). Benson Ford invited the automobile industry to go along with Ford on a safety sales campaign. But not all the automakers were willing to emphasize the chances a car buyer takes when he ventures...
...Door to Hell. The work breaks off at the end of Volume I, and perhaps none too soon. Krull is surprisingly funny, but at times the humor is as heavy as Kartoffelklosse-and not helped by a translation that misses much of the hero-villain's comic pomposity. The action falls asleep at one point while Mann delivers himself of a monumental snore : a 20-page lecture on the nature of the universe...
