While military service poses some serious problems for most young men of draft age these days, one member of our company had to make a more difficult decision than most. He is 21-year-old Alex Hood, who was born in Toronto and came to the U.S. four years ago to work for TIME. A Canadian citizen, he was not necessarily liable to induction here at the time he reached draft age.

...family could ride for thousands of miles in comfort. Sports-car fans scornfully dubbed such cars "jelly molds." Even non-sportsmen have more recently viewed them with alarm. Complained the Automobile Safety Association's President Arthur Stevens: the U.S. driver is "submerged down behind a chromium-draped engine hood, wide, slush-holding fenders, and a sloping, glass, mud-gathering shelf called a windshield, that at times even a Mixmaster couldn't clean." The American Automobile Association, noting the high costs of repairs, scored automakers for designs that "make it more necessary than ever before to replace large segments...
