...does reward "a few moments of savoring contemplation," but the really intriguing figure is the horse. This mean-and unpredictable-looking animal probably symbolizes the electorate upon whose support each "jockey" must ultimately depend. Is there not, however, an outside chance that it represents a "dark horse" candidate? A Mustang for Ford Foundation President McGeorge Bundy? A symbol of the long-departed past for Barry Goldwater? Or perhaps it is not a horse at all, but a mule standing for George Wallace's stubbornness in the schoolhouse door...
...Detroit's favorite yardstick -sales - the Ford Mustang is the most successful car ever introduced. And the men who were responsible for it are being suitably rewarded. Lee Iacocca, the Ford division general manager who introduced the Mustang (TIME cover, April 17, 1964), is now corporate vice president responsible for all Ford Motor Co. production and sales. Donald N. Frey (pronounced Fry), Iacocca's assistant general manager and chief engineer, the man who actually designed the Mustang, succeeded his boss two years ago as Ford division general manager. Last week Frey, 44, moved even higher. He was promoted...

Still the bodies fall, much the way the buddies of Jimmy C. and Eddie G. were...
...That there is a vigorous marketplace is obvious, as witness the giant Ford Motor Co.'s unplanned flops (the Edsel) and galloping successes (the Mustang). What is more, any steel, aluminum or copper-industry executive who tried to raise prices this year-and got a jangling phone call from the White House for his trouble-knows that the tale about the government acting like a Victorian spinster is as tall...
...builders have offered to shave $1,000 or $2,000 off the sales price if the buyer will accept a house with one or two unfinished rooms. Allstate S & L, taking over a tract of $45,000 homes from a bankrupt developer in Whittier, Calif., even gives a free Mustang to buyers who make a 20% down payment. Still, a few builders are thriving. With ample lines of mortgage credit, Long Island-based William J.L. itt expects a 20% increase in sales (to $89 million) and profits, has just announced plans to expand into the Chicago area...
