Thunderbird will be pizazzier than ever, and is shrouded in such secrecy that industry sources predict a big "surprise." The intermediate Mercury Meteor is essentially the same body shell as the Fairlane, with dual headlights and tubular taillights. Lincoln, in keeping with Ford policy of styling continuity over four-year periods, is making only minor trim and grille changes...
...sound of chanting mobs, the Dominican Republic last week broke violently out of the shell of political repression that has encased it for 31 years. Shouting "Out with the Trujillos,"'.more than 8,000 students, workers and women stormed the government-owned Radio Caribe, sloshed gasoline on the floors and set it ablaze. When police arrested 25 ringleaders, the mob hurled stones. The police fired, and six demonstrators were wounded. A few hours later, street fighting broke out again when a band of Trujillo supporters carrying a huge picture of the slain dictator tried to burn the headquarters...
...technique is both simple and lethal. Operating to depths of 100 ft. without special breathing apparatus, Scotty relies on his own aquatic agility and a deadly "powerhead," a 5-ft. metal pole topped by a steel tube loaded with a 12-gauge shotgun shell.

On first-name terms not only with Reuther but with "Jimmy'' (the Teamsters' Hoffa), "Jim" (the Electrical Workers' Carey) and "Dave" (the Steelworkers' McDonald), he frequently puts in phone calls...
...popular imagination, the 20th century metropolis is an indestructible giant -all those skyscrapers and subways, all that steel, stone and glass, all that raw, corpuscular power. But the modern city, New York included, is really a huge, rubbery shell. In the dead of night it collapses just like a deflated balloon, and each morning it is pumped back to life again, not with air but electricity. As little Reddy Kilowatt-the power companies' coy public-relations name for juice -swarms all over town, subways scuttle, elevators shoot, lamps light, machines sew, write, add, cool, talk, sing and growl...
