Just over 1 in. longer than A.M.C.'s Gremlin and designed with a sloping front that cuts aerodynamic drag, the Pacer has more headroom in back than a Continental Mark IV. The door on the passenger side is 4 in. longer than the driver's-an innovation aimed at facilitating entry to the back seat. The car's most striking feature is an abundance of glass: it has more window surface than the Cadillac Eldorado. But its main selling points will be low cost (base price: $3,299) and high fuel economy (25 m.p.g. on the highway...

Pressured to ask other members of the Rockefeller family to reveal their financial holdings, Nelson said, hesitantly, that he would give...
Earlier in the week, Thieu, a Roman Catholic convert, had tried to appease his opponents by firing the notoriously corrupt commanders of three of the country's four military "corps." Among those busted was General Nguyen Vinh Nghi, of IV Corps (the Mekong Delta), who has long been suspected of pocketing the salaries of some 36,000 "phantom troops"-men who are on the payroll but nowhere else in the military.
