Despite a continuing industry-wide fourth-quarter slump, the man in the Chrysler Corp. driver's seat, Lynn Townsend, expects the company's 1966 sales to climb "very close" to $6 billion-an improvement over 1965 by an estimated $700 million. In that optimistic frame of mind, Townsend last week announced that he is moving up from president to chairman and chief policy officer, taking the place of retiring George H. Love, who in his own words has served primarily as Townsend's "father confessor" in recent months...
...Brussels, theatergoers are packing a new play, Dallas, 22 November 1963, 12:27 p.m., in which right-wingers and Dallas police frame Lee Harvey Oswald for John Kennedy's assassination. In publications from Esquire to Commentary, college professors, journalists, novelists and would-be hawkshaws are fairly stepping on each other's lines to find new ways to challenge the Warren Commission's conclusions, investigatory technique, language, logic, legal methodology and moral intent...

The early assumption had been that the two were hit by separate shots. But since Oswald's bolt...
...manner cannily calculated to propagate tension. Tension is set up between Romanesque stones that soothe the eye and electronic jazz that grates the ear. Tension is set up in the script, which systematically intersperses-interfuses episodes of horror and hilarity. Tension is set up by the camera, which in frame after frame lets the danger lurk just out of sight until the onlooker feels like a man cooped up with a cobra he cannot...
