...under secretaries agreed informally that each should go on running his own department; notice went out from them to Dr. Sture Linner, the U.N.'s Congo chief, that he had full authority over U.N. field activities there. This typical civil servant's decision to hang on could keep day-to-day operations going temporarily, but it would clearly prove unworkable when major policy decisions were required-for instance, whether to reinforce or withdraw the U.N. units fighting for control of Katanga. Without a chief executive, the U.N. machinery soon would run down...
Consensus is that disappointed Labor Premier Einar Gerhardsen will soon resign, but that the Labor Party will manage to hang on. Likely compromise: Laborite Nils Langhelle, president of the Storting, will take over a minority government with tacit conservative support. One thing was certain: in view of the pressing problem of Common Market entry and Norway's vital role in NATO, neither Labor nor the other old-line parties want to give the fellow-traveling upstarts a chance to play the balance-of-power game...

"I once thought everybody loved a winner," he said. "But I guess they...
...will be produced initially in only two models-a two-door and a four-door sedan. For the pizazz lover, Ford will bring out, in addition to its regular four-seater Thunderbird, a Thunderbird sports roadster. Equipped with wire wheels and a dashboard "assist bar" for nervous passengers to hang on to, the new Thunderbird can be converted into a pseudo two-seater by slipping a fiber-glass tonneau cover over the back seat. The nation's bestselling compact, the Falcon, adds a dummy air scoop on the hood that gives the car a racier silhouette...
