...doesn't look like a politician. Tall, lanky, slightly balding, with deeply lined features, McGovern hardly exudes glamour. Unaggressive and mild, he lacks the driving athletic power of a Lindsay, the magnetic, sophisticated political savoir-faire of a Kennedy and the intellectual passion of a McCarthy...
...innovative glamour accounts for the recent leap. The 1972 model year started out with little new except strengthened bumpers. What brought most of the spurt was the freeze-produced sales of 1972-model cars at early-1971 prices, as well as the $200 excise tax cut that President Nixon has proposed. If, as expected, Congress approves the cut, dealers will refund the tax to customers. American Motors has in fact been making excise-tax refunds even before Congress acts; the company's sales jumped 50% in September, compared with the same month in 1970. Whether or not the sales...
...when Robert Kennedy was near the crest of his primary election campaign, we selected Pop Artist Roy Lichtenstein. He depicted Kennedy as an all-American hero in a comic book motif.

No such assurances are sought, although such extreme measures are taken to separate the contestants from the male...
This year the glamour yearlings were those sired by Buckpasser, the 1966 horse of the year, who won 25 races and $1,462,014. The first big surprise of the auction came after only eleven horses had been sold, when a New Jersey computer magnate and racing novice paid $125,000 for a Native Dancer grandson. Having given his trainer authority to buy the horse, Joseph Taub was eating a leisurely dinner at the time the trainer spent his money. He returned from his meal to borrow a flashlight and inspect his new acquisition in a darkened stall. The highlight...
