Facts & Patents. Things went a bit better that evening at the Bolshoi, where De Gaulle received a standing ovation both from Muscovites and U.S. Ambassador Foy Kohler. The ballet was Romeo and Juliet, and De Gaulle, who was seated beside Klavdia Kosygin (Mme. de Gaulle's hostess throughout the week), loved every minute of it, especially the dueling scenes.

Alfa-Romeo last year exported 23% of its cars but sent only 1,500 to the U.S. To increase those totals, the company has invested $90 million to build a modern factory at Arese, just outside Milan. Luraghi expects to double output in seven years by turning out cars that appeal to the everyday driver whose Fangio instincts are stirred by a six-speed manual gearshift and easy acceleration to 100 m.p.h...
