...Francis' -famous landing at Plymouth last year made grappling with the elements a major British sport, followed intensely by the public and pushed hard by the press. The Observer, quickest to capitalize on "Chichysteria," announced a transatlantic sailboat solo race for this summer and attracted 35 oddly assorted entries. The winner of that tough grind was a young Cornish schoolteacher, Geoffrey Williams, who slipped into Newport, R.I., a fortnight ago after 26 days, 20 hours, and 32 minutes en route; others are still at sea. The competing Sunday Times sent four record-seeking Britons floundering by dogsled across mushy...
...Chrysler is the leading gainer, with sales up 19% over lackluster 1967. Among its bestselling intermediates, the Plymouth Satellite enjoyed a 47% increase in sales over last year. Plymouth Fury, the company's high-volume car, has sales of 184,600 so far in 1968, compared with...

As a result, the plant is fully meshed with the rest of Chrysler's North American operations. The lines discontinued in Windsor are now made entirely in the U.S., but are sold both on the Canadian and American markets. A Canadian-make Polara...
...Chrysler set records during the first quarter of 1968, and March sales indicated that there are still better days ahead. After six months of the model year, Plymouth's Fury is some 30,000 units ahead of last year's model, and all Dodge models are doing well. Chrysler's market penetration was up two percentage points to 17.5%, chiefly because sales of Plymouth's intermediate Belvedere have climbed substantially...
...NEGRO IN AMERICA (from Birmingham jail, 1963): Before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth, we were here. Before the pen of Jefferson etched across the pages of history the majestic words of the Declaration of Independence, we were here. If the inexpressible cruelties of slavery could not stop us, the opposition we now face will surely fail. We will win our freedom because the sacred heritage of our nation and the eternal will of God are embodied in our echoing demands...
