...lead, 1958's Chevrolet is all new from latticework grille to gently curving, lazy-S rear-fender lines; all cars are 9 in. longer, 4 in. wider, 2 in. lower, have optional air-suspension ride and a slight horsepower increase to 290 h.p. Two new models: a sporty Impala hardtop and a convertible, both with 280 h.p. to compete with Ford's Thunderbird. Pontiac is just as new, with revamped, rocket-ornamented body, double-barreled taillight and a bigger, 300-h.p. engine...
...generation of jazz-age iconoclasts, Mencken was a demigod who cut down false idols with a meatax. He fought the censors and prohibitors like an enraged impala, and destroyed shibboleths with a whimsical delight that has seldom been equaled. On his overheated typewriter he minted words and phrases that became part of the national currency: "booboisie," "bozart," "Comstockery," "Bible Belt." With roars of laughter, Mencken insulted at least half his countrymen as "morons" and "boobs" led by "medicine men." He enraged a lot of people, and capitalized on their anger by fielding their barbs into an anthology, Schimpflexikon...
...into production in August. The aluminum-roofed Brougham (base price: $8,500) is G.M.'s answer to Ford's Continental Mark II, and features such gadgets as a driver's seat that pivots outward for easy access. Highlights of the dream cars: Chevrolet's Impala, a five-passenger hardtop version of the 225-h.p. Corvette sports car; Buick's transparent-topped Centurion, with a TV camera in the back instead of a rear view mirror. In its Kitchen of Tomorrow exhibit, G.M.'s Frigidaire Division showed an experimental dishwasher that cleans by sound waves...
...greatest achievement of African Lion was in its making, the film's greatest fascination lies in its cast. The lion, the leopard, and the cheetah roam, play, and kill among giant herds of wildebeest, impala, and zebra. Stalking, killing, and the division of the spoils take place seemingly within feet of the camera. Then too, there are elephants, baboons, and hippos, scavengers and clowns. The immediacy of these photographs is so consistently startling that it soon becomes truly difficult to believe one's eyes. And yet they must be believed...
...uninitiated, big-game hunting usually connotes Africa and safaris for elephant, lion and swift impala. But the quarry of the U.S. big-game hunter-deer, moose, elk, antelope, bighorn sheep, mountain goat and bear-can provide thrills and challenges to rival anything in Africa. A Montana bull moose 7 ft. tall and weighing more than 1,000 Ibs. is an adequate stand-in for an elephant. A grizzly bear that can charge 100 yds. to maul a rifleman, even after its heart and lungs have been pierced by a bullet from a .30-caliber rifle, is fully as deadly...
