Later, Author Sholokhov sounded off in Washington to some U.S. authors about Nobel Prize-declining Novelist Boris (Doctor Zhivago) Pasternak. "A hermit crab," sniffed Sholokhov.

Hopefully, Ed Cole says: "The bulk of compact-car sales will probably come from an expansion of the market." But he is well aware that the compacts are bound to cut into sales of existing models. "If our Corvair moves some other cars off the road, well, that's too bad. But any time we bring out something that gets the focus of attention, it helps business.
