...designers, who change styles each year, Europe's small-car men hardly touched their existing models this year. Instead, they concentrated on bringing out a fleet of brand-new cars to fill in the gaps in their lines and expand their growing markets still more. Italy's Fiat brought out an 81-h.p. hardtop two-seater to compete in the $3,200 price class with Britain's popular Austin Healeys, added a new baby line called the "Jolly," with four wicker seats and a price tag of about $1,000. France's big-selling Simca...
...models are just frosting on the foreign carmakers' cake. The older cars sell so well that almost every producer is ahead from 10% to 30% this year. With a new 350-acre plant at Mira-fiori, Italy's Fiat is making 1,400 cars daily, up about 40% from last year. In France, Simca alone expects to turn out 210,000 cars in 1958, v. 170,000 in 1957, while the industry as a whole will top the 1,000,000 mark for a 100% increase in the last four years. Biggest jump of all: West Germany, which...

Unless the Houses are to be jails, future seniors should not be regulated by Administrative fiat. Masters and their Senior Tutors are well enough acquainted with the situation in their respective institutions to decide who ought to live out and in what numbers. Exceptions in cases of marriage, illness and financial distress are already provided for--the invitation should also be extended to those who simply cannot stand House life...
...Eisenhower's position was clearly untenable. Keeping things bipartisan means keeping them out of the electorate's reach. To deplore debate and ignore criticism is to rise above the tests of rationality; it is to rule by fiat rather than by consent. The State Department is not to be run by Gallup Polls, of course, but to hold that any policy is altogether above the clash of political parties is to deny it democratic legitimation...
