...gossips had been busy since January. At first the rumor was that William McChesney Martin, 60, wanted to retire when his current four-year term as Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board expires March 31.

...keep Rambler's price low, A.M.C. will forgo annual styling changeovers, thus saving retooling costs. But Chapin does not intend to economize all the way. Two sporty specialty cars are in the works, and this week three jazzed-up Rebel station wagons will be introduced. Main features: "simulated natural tan leather" side trim for Midwest and Southwest markets, "black camera grain" in the East, and "bleached teakwood" on the West Coast and in Florida...
