...American Motors' new Hudsons, completely restyled, have wraparound windshields and bumpers, a new V-8 engine (made by Packard) with as much as 208 h.p. They are a shade longer than last year's slow-selling models, and resemble the 1955 Nash also brought out last week...
...love letters. Their author-a dashing young man, dead these many decades, to whom the girl's mother was once engaged-now comes strangely to life. Around his memory, three women begin to dance slowly, lazily, like tired butterflies: the young girl, who falls in love with the shade she raised; the mother, scatterbrained and scatterhearted, who is shackled to the remembered lover; and the young man's cousin, a great ruin of a woman, who suddenly presents a claim of her own to the dead love. The bond between the two older women, one strangely dominating...
...gardeners, gourmets, radio comedians, diplomats, psychoanalysts, and almost anyone but writers. The amateurs, of course, are provided with outlines, editors and, in many cases, ghosts (a ghost may earn from $1,000 to $5,000 a book, in addition to a whack of the royalties, and a particularly expert shade may even materialize in his own right on the title page).

...problem of controlling colored immigration is an awkward one in a commonwealth in which 460 million of its 540 million citizens are colored in one shade or another.

That is not something we wish...
...SALES for 1955 will approach the 6,000,000 mark, predicts C.I.T. Financial Corp. President Arthur O. Dietz, whose 1954 estimate of 5,400,000 cars will be only a shade low. Demand is so heavy that Detroit production is up to 142,000 cars a week, 65% higher than this time last year. One example: Studebaker, which slumped badly in 1954, last week went on overtime at its South Bend, Ind. plant...
