...auto that is new from rubber to roof, with the large-car look of an Oldsmobile. Long before his predecessor at G.M., Defense Secretary Charlie Wilson, made his crack about bird dogs and kennel dogs (TIME, Oct. 25), Curtice described the new Chevrolet as having "a hound-dog look"-long, low and forward-plunging. The same overall length (196 in.) as last year, the new Chevvies are lower by 2.6 in. to 6.3 in. (for the station wagon), have two inches more hip and shoulder room inside. With wrap-around windshields, they have 18% more glass area and visibility...

Unkempt women in faded dressing gowns are readier with a pound of flesh than a $5 payment...
...Vermonter-by-adoption, a church-state issue, however small, is like a hot scent to a coon hound. When Lawyer Paul Blanshard-whose bestselling American Freedom and Catholic Power launched him on a career of Catholic-needling-learned that the children in his own town of Thetford were getting a weekly half-hour of nonsectarian religious instruction in the classroom, he promptly went into action. Blanshard formally asked Education Commissioner A.
