...first on long-term leasing of car and truck fleets to business firms, it will move into hourly and daily rentals to individuals early this summer. The twelve-month goal of Greyhound's new president, ex-Railroader Arthur S. Genet (TIME, Nov. 14), is a fleet of 10,-ooo cars and trucks, third largest in the rental business...
Defense Position. How strong a bastion will METO prove in the Mid-East's shifting sands? Truth is that METO is more a geographic than a military entity, more a psychological pact than a strategic strongpoint.

"If you see a new building going up," says a real-estate man in Little Rock...
...glacial tones can make a hardened hoodlum jump to attention. One fine morning, Jennifer gets a pain in her back and. as she awaits medical attention, launches into the first of a series of flashbacks that show her renouncing her true love (she has to pay back some $11,-ooo her ever-loving daddy embezzled), helping a Polish immigrant to learn English and grow up to write bad plays, rescuing the underprivileged boy from across the tracks, and airily saving the town bank from failing during the Depression. Actress Jones seems to have a fine time portraying the exemplar...
