Shortly before How I Won the War opened in Germany, Director Richard Lester attended preview screenings before student audiences in Munich, Berlin and Hamburg.

Such outbursts were the sweet sounds of success for Lester. "Getting these points of view...

A glittering concatenation of neon by Chryssa attracts commuters in Grand Central Station. Three giant dolls by Marisol face Central Park at 59th Street, black stabiles by Alexander Calder stand in Harlem, police cars parade through gigantic, candy-colored building blocks by Lyman Kipp in Central Park...
...Book Record. In the summer of 1962, Henry Ford II and other company executives attended a sneak preview of the Cortina at Montlhéry race track south of Paris. The car was 5 lbs. lighter and $3 cheaper than the Red Book had projected. Only major change in Beckett's schedule, in fact, was the annual-production target, which was raised from 150,000 to 250,000. In 1963, its first full manufacturing year, Cortina production reached...
