...dramatic changes. The trends will be to even more luxury options (example: a push-button system that enables the driver to set his car to a given speed and cruise without touching the accelerator), more powerful engines, longer bodies, less chrome. One of the major changes will occur in Ford's Falcon, which has borrowed liberally from the successful Mustang, with a short rear deck and a long hood; like most other Ford models, the Falcon has also adopted the hop-up, or gently swelling rear-fender curve, pioneered by General Motors...

Early this summer two women chatted away so feverishly they did not notice that the river had slowed to a swamp. Startled by the sound of cows grazing on the riverbank a few feet away, they scrambled ashore, only to find their path blocked by a gun-toting farmer...
...wide across the motor housing, has a built-in reaction absorber. When the astronaut presses the trigger, the motor near the handle compresses a spring with a brief quick twist.

The turning force of the cylindrical mass is what turns the operating end of the wrench. The rapid rotation and counterrotation of cylinder and motor all but cancel each other out and absorb about 96% of the reaction. This is more than enough to enable...

Franck, a spokesman for the U.S. Selective Service in Washington, said yesterday that lowering the average national age of inductees from 21 to 19 should produce enough additional men to meet the gradual increase demanded by the President...
