...prize. At the request of Cliburn's parents, Moor became a kind of ex-officio manager of Van's, traveled with him constantly, collecting research and protecting him from the constant demands on his time. The two soon found that they had a lot in common: Moor grew up in Texas not far from Van; each had studied piano with a pupil of Arthur Friedheim's, who in turn was a pupil of Liszt's. For this week's cover story, Moor sent TIME'S editors the tapes of the prizewinning Moscow performance...

When she grew up and weighed 200 pounds and was six feet long she intended to visit the United States...
Love That Chrome. Despite all the yowling about chrome and size, the experts scoff at the notion that Detroit's problem-or even a major part of it-is a mere matter of style. "This industry grew because we have made it our business to find out what people want," says a G.M. economist, noting that his company surveys 2,000,000 potential buyers each year.
