Thus Consumers Union is urging the Government to order Suzuki Motor to buy back all 160,000 of the Samurais (base price: about $8,500) sold in the U.S. The car's importer, American Suzuki Motor Corp., strongly defends its product as safe...
...magazines -- surplus copies of House Beautiful, Esquire, Town & Country and the like -- spilling in a torrent from a fireplace, across the floor and through a wall and another fireplace. Embedded in them are a bathtub, a stuffed zebra and what must be the world's largest outboard motor, a 300-h.p. Johnson V-8, which looks big enough to drive the Queen Mary.

The stainless-steel pump, driven by a slender cable linked to a motor outside the body, took on the work of the ailing ventricle. Spinning 25,000 times a minute -- about four times as fast as a sports-car engine -- the pump drew a steady stream of blood out of the chamber and into the aorta, the main vessel carrying blood to the body...
