...dispute between Papadopoulos and the hard-liners came to a head over the proposed constitution, which was drafted by a 20-man commission of Greek jurists (TIME, Jan. 26). In its present form, the draft retains the monarchy, but severely limits the once broad powers of the throne. The King loses his most important function-that of appointing the Premier. In the future, the Premier will be chosen either in direct elections by the people or elected by Parliament.

Buick (up 21.3% over 1967) and Oldsmobile (up 14.4%) were the biggest gainers. At the Chevrolet division, the Chevy II, a model that falls somewhere between the compact and the intermediate, had sales of nearly 90,000 units, up 45% from last year.
