...Year Plan (1959-1965). The volume of industrial production increased 84% instead of 80% as planned. The average annual rate of industrial growth was 9.1%, more than double that of the U.S. The Soviet Union holds first place in the world for production of granulated sugar, butter, woolen fabrics, metal-cutting machines, iron ore, coke, cement, reinforced concrete and timber. Obviously, the present changes were not caused by the painful sputter of the Soviet economic engine. Nor have the Communists seen advantages in capitalist methods. The reform means the transition to policy that conforms to the Soviet Union...
Laing abstracts the hot-rod esthetic in paintings on brass and aluminum that hinge and bend to slither up the walls or across the floor. They employ the customized car lingo in their textures: chrome and riots of rainbow "flake" (colored metal chips frozen in sprayed vinyl) finishes. They take the serpentine ripple of flames painted on the sides of racing cars, the flapping forms of the parachutes used to slow giant dragsters.

A new Lincoln was squeezed into a tiny cube by a giant press in the James Bond movie Goldfinger; the villain who arranged the crush-out to get rid of a rival carted off the metal remains in, of all things, a Ford "Ranchero" pickup truck! Chrysler has signed agreements with no less than 17 TV shows to use its cars, among them Peyton Place, Dr. Kildare, the Beverly Hillbillies and The Fugitive. Napoleon Solo escapes Thrush in a Dodge; Efrem Zimbalist Jr. tools around...
...marines along their Danang perimeter. By the end of this year, a steel-mesh net platform that can be laid by helicopters across jungle treetops will be in use by choppers as a do-it-yourself landing pad; the disgorged troops shinny down through the branches on a metal and nylon ladder...
