...Tanganyika had three things working for it that made the country seem ideally suited for uhuru. Of its 10,000,000 population, 98% is African. And although the people are divided into 120 separate tribes, the majority are of Bantu stock, and all share the Swahili lingua franca. Thus, unlike neighboring Kenya and Uganda, Tanganyika has no basic conflicts between rival tribes or kingdoms, nor had it a large white-settler population to fight against independence and give rise to black Mau Mau-type terrorism. What whites there were mostly stuck to the cool, green coffee-and-banana highlands...

Others suggested that Listen had thrown the fight to build up the gate for a return match. That made no better sense: as challenger, Listen would collect only half the champion's share.

Valcar will offer all the regular features in its rented cars (radio, seat belts, etc.) but will eliminate such extras as revolving credit, airport locations, car delivery and wide choice of models. It will rent a Chevrolet Impala for $6 a day plus 60 a mile with no gasoline...
Opel last year increased its output by 54%, the biggest production gain of any major automaker in the world; it also raised its sales to $775 million and made a $40 million profit. Equally important, Opel last year enlarged its share of the competitive German auto market from 16% to 23% at the expense of a tough rival, Volkswagen. The Opel auto that did the trick is the little Kadett, which was introduced 18 months ago. After a slow start, the Kadett finally caught on; Opel sold so many Kadetts (177,443) in 1963 that Volkswagen's share...
