...whisky che lavora [Boy, your whisky is too strong]." His angry Italian rings strangely in that watering place of the American frontier. His opponent is fast on the draw, but not fast enough: on the stairway appears a girl in fringed jerkin and boots, firing from the hip. The revolver spins out of the gunslinger's hand. The girl strides coolly across the bar. "Vi do la buona sera, sceriffo" she says to the sheriff...
...light, furred over by cigarette smoke, they could make out a few guitar-slapping, foot-waggling singers, all yelling unintelligible words against the driving, torrential blast of rock 'n' roll music. On the dance floor, a tight tangle of people shuddered and shook through a series of hip-tossing, pelvis-thrusting, arm-swinging gyrations that go by the name of "The Twist...

Wilson steered General Motors through the labor conflicts of the late '30s and won the respect of organized labor. Once, when he was recovering from a hip fracture suffered during an impetuous attempt at ice skating, Wilson got an idea for inspiring the labor force by giving raises based on increased production. Wilson coupled his "productivity clause" with the famed cost-of-living "escalator clause" in a package that has become a basic provision in auto industry...
