...whizzy world of two-wheeled transportation, Honda Motors Co. of Japan has long since lapped the field. Honda's U.S. export models are the fastest selling numbers since the salad day of the Harley-Davidson. Its cycles take home most of the prizes in international racing. Its new, lightweight "Little Honda" motor bike sells like soy sauce in Japan, will be introduced in the U.S. next year at about $100. And now the world's largest motorcycle manufacturer is tooling up for a sharp turn into the international auto market...
Sandals & Beards. The trigger that sets Drury's plot in motion is a revolution in the emerging African nation of Gorotoland. U.S. President Harley M. Hudson (the "Vice President" of Advise and Consent) cautions the insurgents against endangering American life and property there.

Opening hearings on the Senate measure last week, Chairman Harley O. Staggers of the Commerce Committee protested that the proposed resolution "would set back the cause of collective bargaining 50 to 100 years." Labor Secretary Willard Wirtz agreed with Staggers that legislation weakens collective bargaining. "But," he said, without alluding to the Administration's sorry performance, "this time collective bargaining has fallen on its face...
McQueen appears to have spilled the last of his Indian blood before the cam eras began turning. Tightly wound, unmistakably modern, he looks as if he would be more at home in the saddle of a Harley-Davidson than on a horse. He lends presence but not substance to the simple, single-minded character written by Scenarist John Michael Hayes...
