...results of the deal are mixed. In effect, the company is bowing out of North American auto production, which it entered when it first signed a joint marketing agreement with AMC in 1979. The timing of the retreat is peculiar. AMC is about to introduce a new midsize sedan, the Premier, in October. The car, expected to sell for around $12,000, will still be built at the Canadian plant that Renault has now agreed to sell to Chrysler. This month Renault has begun exporting to the U.S. a new $10,000 compact, the Medallion, which Chrysler would continue...
...lady knows how to make an entrance. On New Year's Eve, 1972, she was borne onstage at Manhattan's Lincoln Center in a sedan chair with the drapes closed, one leg peeking through to salute the audience; at midnight she returned in a diaper as Baby 1973. She has emerged from a giant mollusk in a Polynesian bikini; walked on in a cunning knee-length frankfurter costume, mustard streaked down her front; raced across the proscenium in a mermaid's spangled fin and a motorized wheelchair; wowed crowds with her renowned mammary-balloon ballet.

...Alpine, a flashy $30,000 sports car that is due in September. AMC is pinning its highest hopes, though, on a pair of models designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, the noted Italian auto stylist, which will be built at the new Canadian plant. They are the Premier, an intermediate-size sedan that will reach showrooms in October, and a sportier coupe, code-named the X-59, which will appear a year later. The Premier and the X-59 have not yet been priced, but will compete against such cars as the Ford Taurus and the Nissan Maxima...
...brakes on those rising stats. Starting in 1988, truck and bus drivers will be required to pass a federally approved test before being issued a license. At the moment, standards across the country vary. In 20 states, for example, a driver can take his road test in a family sedan, then hit the highway in an 80,000-lb. rig. Beginning next year, long haulers will be banned from holding more than one license, preventing them from distributing citations among licenses from several states and thus hiding bad safety records...
...union leader. The Teamsters president would be a great choice if he can keep out of jail in the next four months. Harvard's ongoing labor dispute with its clerical and technical workers would be resolved before you could say "Jimmy Hoffa." Also, Presser, who was borne in a sedan chair over the heads of delegates at the most recent Teamsters' convention, could easily handle the pomp and circumstance that comes with the position...
