...other hand, Romney will have a problem with some of his dealers. Some 30% of them are auto bigamists; they sell a Big Three car as well as the Rambler, will probably carry the Big Three's line of small cars (though only Chevrolet, Ford and Plymouth dealers, of which Rambler has practically none, are expected to). Romney hopes that his hard core of 2,800 dealers will stick with Rambler. During the industry's 1958 slump, Rambler saved many of them; last year they made a 2.8% profit on their total sales v. .2% for the average...

Years in a concentration camp have killed his trust in human beings. War and revolution have so sapped his faith in the earth itself that he can only sigh skeptically when a cheerful clergyman assures him that healing "always begins with the hands . . . Our Heavenly Father looks after the heart...
...through, nor can mere political poster slogans bring back what has been lost. Woman used to be superior to man in maintaining the "well-arranged paths." But now, even she has forgotten "the old order of nature" and enters maturity "marching instead of dancing, carrying a flag in her hand instead of a sunshade...
