Quiet Touches. The new Rolls, called the Silver Shadow, has been changed in other respects. Somehow, the designers have been able to increase the interior room while decreasing the outer dimensions. The car is built in the latest "monocoque" principle-already used in the Jaguar and the Rambler-which combines the chassis and body into a single unit of construction. It also incorporates a number of engineering advances that have long been standard on some lower-priced cars, including independent suspension for all four wheels, power steering and hydraulic disk brakes-to which Rolls added its own quiet touch...
Hardly was the Clutter family funeral over when Capote arrived in Holcomb, Kans., scene of the crime. He stayed for six months and immersed himself in the life of the community.

Last week thousands of London commuters were fuming over a railroad slowdown called against the union leader's orders...
...conventional flying between his Hong Kong base and Bangkok, where the going was less conventional. There, his means of locomotion included a motor samlor (popular Thai vehicle made up of a pedicab body hitched to a Vespa scooter), a motorized sampan and a Bangkok banker's air-conditioned Jaguar...
