That relatively plush advantage didn't last for long, as Engineer midfielder Miha Manolui took advantage of some confusion in front of the Harvard goal to make the score 2-1 at 1:03 in the first half. Manolui picked up the loose ball after it bounced off the chest of a Crimson defender, emerged from a crowd of red and white jerseys, and sent a twisting shot past Harvard goalie Pete Walsh into the net to close the gap to one goal...
Though the K-cars are expected to support 50% of Chrysler's total sales this year, the firm has a few other cars in its garage. The flamboyantly plush Imperial, which has not been sold for five years, will be reintroduced. It will carry a $19,500 price tag and be promoted by Frank Sinatra. The rest of the company's product line is less impressive. Its older big cars, such as the Chrysler Cordoba and Dodge Mirada, look like forgotten orphans on the market. The small fuel-efficient Dodge Omni and Plymouth Horizon are now three years...
...mild spring evening in Moscow, and the city's balletomanes had turned out in force. The setting was familiar: the ornately gilded, plush-trimmed Bolshoi Theater.

Henry Ford's flivvers and gushers of cheap Texas oil eventually drove electric vehicles off the American road and onto the American golf course, where most of them...
...sign of the new acceptance of male cosmetics is the surge in male facials. At Georgette Klinger's mirror-and-chrome emporium on Manhattan's Madison Avenue, men now account for 20% of business. All day long a stream of admen, lawyers and bankers settle back in plush barber chairs to have their faces anointed and cleansed with an exotic array of creams, masks and steam baths...
