...they don't have the votes to pass the bill in the House. If I wanted to, I couldn't pass it." Congressional liaison men from the White House and legislative leaders of both parties agree that the House overwhelmingly opposes the tax bill. Republican Leader Jerry Ford believes that 98% of the 187 House Republicans are against it. Says Wisconsin's John Byrnes, the senior Republican on Mills's committee: "This is a lot of malarkey about Mills's holding up this bill. It isn't the committee or the Congress...
...Barbara Weisberger started a small ballet school in an old studio in Philadelphia. Funds at first were scarce; she and her two teaching colleagues paid themselves $20 a month, and at least once the landlord locked them out for nonpayment of rent. Thanks to some timely help from the Ford Foundation, the school grew into the Pennsylvania Ballet.

Spies who stay out in the Detroit cold these days are working overtime trying to turn up intelligence about the final styling and appearance of the new Continental Mark III.

...been engineered with profits as well as esthetics in mind. The Mark I, which in 1959, along with the Olivetti typewriter and Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona chair, was voted one of the ten best designs of modern times, sold only 5,300 after Edsel Ford introduced it in 1939. The Mark II, which featured simply sculptured "slab sides" instead of the chrome that was the rage in Detroit in 1956, sold 3,000 over a two-year life span. But Ford estimates that 15,000 Mark IIIs will be sold in the car's first year...
