Chrysler & Ford. Chrysler, which made its big change last year and won back a 20% share of the market, will only freshen its fins, wait until 1960 for a major styling change, figuring that 1957's radical styling changes will keep it right up with the pack. Beyond higher horsepower, revised grilles and molding sweeps, all models from Plymouth through Imperial will be virtually unchanged, allowing the company to concentrate on higher production, better distribution and quality control to eliminate the one serious complaint of 1957: lack of structural rigidity, which engineers hope to solve by strengthening the frame...

He has shown no knowledge of domestic affairs--his empty speeches only prove the deficiency--he has had no political experience, and his campaign has wandered haphazardly from Peace to The Mess to his opponent's sense of humor. On foreign affairs, where he is meant to be an expert, all he has offered is a restatement of Democratic policy on Europe, in terms just different enough to cause havoc abroad, and a restatement of the old Republican line...
