Press of Business. Lane began tilting against Carlino just ten days after New York's school-shelter bill became law last November. He cited Carlino as a director of Lancer Industries, Inc., a Long Island firm that controls a major shelter-manufacturing concern. Lancer, cried Lane, figured for a windfall out of the shelter law. Last week, before the assembly ethics committee, Carlino argued that Lancer could not possibly have benefited from the bill; the company makes only home-sized shelters, not the larger shelters called for by the state program. Nelson Rockefeller also defended Carlino...

"I neglected to send that letter," Carlino sighed...
...lines. For the first time since 1957, the Imperial and Chrysler models have lost their once-lofty fins. The new Imperials have a sharp, straight rear fender line, the Chryslers a more rakish one that blends into a tapered rear deck. Chrysler's two handsome compacts, Valiant and Lancer, remain essentially unchanged, but each, following the 1962 tide, has acquired a bucket-seated, pizazz version: the Valiant Signet and Lancer Gran Turismo...
