...merge with neighboring communities, the small towns of old are vanishing, and with them will vanish one dimension of the nation's life. The small town had its defects as a place to live in, and urban Americans who know it only from the pages of Sinclair Lewis, Sherwood Anderson and other look-back-in-disgust fiction-eers are likely to think of the small town only as narrow, ingrown, stunting. But for many, life there had its compensations -countryside within walking distance, acquaintances rather than hurrying strangers on the streets, and a serenity that city dwellers cannot even...
After this, the audience knows that nothing painful, nothing honest, nothing real will be inflicted upon it. In Oliver twisted, the Thieves' Kitchen becomes an urban Sherwood Forest, with Robin Hood Fagin teaching his pickpocketeers to rob from the rich and give to the deserving poor-themselves. The grim workhouses, stews and drinking dens of London become playgrounds for boys with a taste for adventure. The biggest laugh of the evening comes when Fagin paternally growls at his charges, "Shut up and drink...
Biggest headache of all has been the Avanti, the hot, handsome sports car that is the pet project of Studebaker's dynamic President Sherwood Egbert, 42. Though initial orders suggest that Studebaker could well sell 15,000 1963 Avantis, production has been held to fewer than 500 a month by the difficulties of getting the various parts of the car's fiber-glass body to fit snugly together.

Onto a makeshift stage pranced such moppets as Actresses Susan Kohner, 25, Susan Strasberg, 24, and Tisha Sterling, 17, daughter of Actress Ann Sothern; then came a formation of New York-Rome jet setlets, led by Harper's Bazaar playgirl Christina...
Nearly two decades have passed since burly Sherwood Harry Egbert, the flamboyant and forceful president of Studebaker Corp., learned to fly as a Marine Air Transport officer. But "Woody" Egbert is still as fascinated with flight as ever. In fact, says a friend, "the only time he can relax is when he's at the controls of a plane." Last week Egbert's predilection for planes became more than a hobby. Subject to CAB approval, Studebaker announced its purchase of Trans International Airlines, Inc., a profitable California nonscheduled carrier that grossed $6,000,000 last year. The price...
