...headquarters of the Studebaker Corp. is still in South Bend, Ind., but its best-known operation and at least some of its hopes are in Hamilton, Ont., where Studebaker's auto division moved last year after losing $50 million since 1959. Studebaker is more of a mite among mammoths than ever, but its Canadian auto plant is a going concern. Last week, addressing a meeting of Studebaker dealers in Boston, Studebaker of Canada President Gordon Grundy announced that the plant's production is sold out through November, added that 1964 sales were near the break-even point...

But all three are disappointed politicians. Republican Hank Greenspun took a flyer at the governorship of Nevada in 1962 and was ignominiously shot down in flames. In 1948 and again in 1950, Cattleman Smith unsuccessfully sought the nomination as Democratic candidate for Arizona Governor-and in neither case did he get any help from Phoenix's two Republican papers. Last year Mecham, running against Arizona...
...Kill a Mockingbird. The Pulitzer Prize novel by Harper Lee, which was always just a mite too cute for words, has been made into a cinemelodrama of remarkable charm-some of it supplied by the hero (Gregory Peck), most of it by three gumptious young 'uns (Mary Badham, Phillip Alford, John Megna...
