...Power Look. The Avanti, says Designer Loewy, "looks power." Its sloping, grill-less hood bears only single, recessed headlights, a single bar bumper, and a low-slung air scoop. Its high, rounded rump tucks under at the bottom like that of a rabbit in full flight and the waist of the car is slightly indented in Coke-bottle fashion-a design feature previously used only on supersonic jet fighters.

T. & T. was planning a stock split. Standard & Poor's man got his scoop by cannily giving A. T. & T. executives all the reasons he could muster against a split, thus luring them into replying...
