Private Rules. Gifford's fee is $70 a day, and much fancier boats than his stubby, 26-ft. Stormy Petrel are available for less. But Gifford is booked up six and seven weeks in advance. He has his own standards, and they are exacting. He will not fish with a man he does not like, or with a man who will not try Tom Gifford's theories. One of them is that trolling is not the best way to get sailfish; more can be caught using live bait while anchored or drifting along the rim of the coral...

...some home-grown critics. Detroit's designers have been fooling the U.S. public for years. They argue that the rapid development of the foreign small-car market (estimated 1957 sales: 225,000) is a vote against ever-longer, ever-fancier Detroit designs.
