...couple to Utah to prospect for uranium, called on Dr. Paul Popenoe of Los Angeles' American Institute of Family Relations. Popenoe pointed out that people get married in a haphazard way, then drew up a questionnaire of 32 items that affect marital relations (sex, race, religion, politics, weight, height, pets, drinking, preferences for double or twin beds, etc.). Linkletter put ads in local papers asking people over 21 who hankered for a mate to get in touch with him. To the more than 4,000 who replied, he dispatched the questionnaires...

One new gadget: a "safety minder" buzzer, which can be set to remind drivers when they hit the speed limit...
...last year's $8,500 Eldorado special model. Grilles are lower and wider-looking; the traditional Caddy taillight fin has been replaced by a thinner, all-metal fin jutting above a cluster of taillights set down near the bumper; and the body has been dropped to reduce overall height another 3 in. to 59 in. on the 60 Special and 62 Sedan. Power: up 15 h.p. to 300 h.p. in the standard engine, up 40 h.p. to 325 h.p. in the special V-8 installed as optional equipment in 1957 Eldorado models...
