Sweet Talk & Skill. Even before the measures became law, the auto industry named a representative to talk sweet reasonability to Government officials. Appointed president of the Automobile Manufacturers' Association, at a salary of about $100,000 a year, was Thomas C. Mann, former U.S. Under Secretary of State for Economic Affairs. With headquarters in Washington, Mann will work closely with Haddon, serve as the industry's spokesman while the new safety rules are being formulated. The State Department's longtime top expert on Latin America (TIME cover, Jan. 31, 1964), Mann retired last June, has since spent...

That was enough for a one-stroke victory over Carol Mann and two strokes over Mickey. "I was in the basement too long," said Sandra, accepting her $4,000 winner's check.

Like Spillane's other hero, Mike Hammer, Tiger Mann is not tough at all, merely brutal. The book opens with Mann gratuitously killing an enemy who is already moribund. It ends with Mann's equally unnecessary murder of a woman with whom, following inflexible habit, he has shacked up. Between bloodlettings, Mann saves the world from nuclear destruction. It is a parody of Hammett, though an unconscious one, and it might be funny if Spillane could write...
