Like Chrysler's Valiant sedan, the new model is neat and nimble. It has the same 106.5-in. wheelbase and six-cylinder 101-h.p. canted engine as the Valiant sedan, will come in two-seat and three-seat (six-nine passengers) models. In both versions the seats will fold down to provide 72.3 cu. ft. of cargo space (v. 95.8 cu. ft. for the regular Plymouth wagon). Factory list price: $2,164, or $213 less than the cheapest Plymouth station wagon. Scheduling a minimum 30% of the Valiant production in wagons, Chrysler is drawing a compact bead...

For example, in a scene outside Dr. Abelman's house in the Brooklyn slums, three teen-age Negroes throw beer cans at Woody Thrasher's white sedan as Thrasher drives away.

"Well done, Mac," shouted voices. "You did it!" The tall, patrician-looking man paused for a moment, his handsome wife in blue evening gown at his side. "It has gone off rather well," murmured Prime Minister Harold Macmillan...
...center of gravity, and an alternator* instead of a direct-current generator. Chief advantages over a DC generator: more electrical energy at idling and low speeds, longer battery life. Initially, the Valiant (priced at about $2,000 plus taxes, but no extras) will be offered in a four-door sedan, with two and three seat station wagon models to follow by year...
...sentenced to 14 years' imprisonment. In prison, where he picked up pin money as a librarian, Fuchs was said to have incurred doubts about Communism. Last week the tall emerald-green gates of Wakefield Prison in northern England swung wide to permit the departure of a black Morris sedan. In the rear seat, together with a police officer and a picnic hamper, sat Klaus Fuchs, at 48 a scrawny, balding man who blinked through thick-lensed, steel-rimmed prison glasses, set free after serving 9½ years, with time off for good conduct...
