...Rolls so thoroughly restyled that only the classic radiator grille, though lower and squarer, remains to recall the car's lineage. Rolls designers have chopped off 7 in. in length, 5 in. in height and 31 in. in width from the dimensions of the car's proud predecessor, the Silver Cloud. They have abandoned the old boxy profile in favor of a more streamlined look, redesigned the side slabs so that they extend in an unbroken line from front to rear...
...power steering and hydraulic disk brakes-to which Rolls added its own quiet touch by specially grooving them to cut down squeal. Another quiet touch may not cut down squeal: priced at $18,356 including tax in Britain, the car will cost a full $2,000 more than its predecessor...

For the progress-minded, there was a rattling off of impressive statistics: in 1965 the gross national...
...they met last week is a courtly but outgoing Virginian who acts, talks and looks quite a bit like a country lawyer. Unlike his sophisticated predecessor, Douglas Dillon, who was highly regarded in Europe, Fowler speaks no foreign language and is not notably experienced in the arcane affairs of international finance. In a job whose occupants in past years have often been men of wealth, he is of modest middle-class means. His surprise appointment April 1 was a disappointment to many financiers in the U.S. and abroad who had hoped for a man more in the Dillon mold. What...
