WHAT are the 1959 cars like? And how well will they be liked? These are always important questions when the new models start to roll, but they have a greater significance this year because the answers will have a vital effect on the U.S. economy. For the answers, TIME correspondents spoke to more than 100 dealers around the country, interviewed potential buyers and Detroit's automakers, peeked under the wraps for a look at some of the still secret '59s. To find out what they learned, why 1959 looks like a big car year...
...Blue Books. At 50, Nelson Rockefeller is a grandfather four times but does not look it. His figure is sturdy (5 ft. 10 in., 175 Ibs.), his hair all brown and all there, his broad face handsome, his effect on women voters devastating. He has the endurance and enthusiasm required of a modern candidate; after an 18-hour day, he can look out over a street-corner crowd of 50 and say: "This is terrific. Really wonderful!" He has a sense of humor about his own wealth. Walking down a Brooklyn street recently, he found a dime, stuffed...
...fallout. But instead of a ban on tests, he proposes a restriction on fallout. The West and the Soviet bloc could agree to equal fallout quotas. These quotas could gradually shrink to zero within a specified time, say two years. After that, until a general disarmament program came into effect, nations would be free to go on conducting tests, e.g., underground or in outer space, as long as there was no detectable fallout. Such an agreement-unlike an agreement to end all tests-would be easy to enforce, since radioactive fallout can be readily detected...
...Heart Sings, Polly Bergen (Columbia LP). Songstress Bergen's idea of emotion is a throaty quaver and a kind of asthmatic gasp. The effect is disconcertingly in evidence on the first side of the album, but side 2 makes up the balance with a finely swinging Lucky Day, a bubbly The Lady Is a Tramp...
When carbon black is released in moist, cloudless air the effect is opposite but no less magical. Its black particles catch sunlight and heat the air between them. The heated air rises, expands and grows colder. Some of its moisture condenses, and a new, white cloud appears in the sky. This system will not form clouds in dry air, but when the air is moist enough, it works almost every time. The official Navy attitude is that the action of carbon black is "an interesting effect" that will have to be studied a great deal more before...
