...Every time Detroit makes cars [May 20] that are too long, too big, and too expensive, car sales drop, and we have to listen to theories about the "sagging economy" and "tight money." I wish the manufacturers would get out of those smoke-filled rooms and ask me how to run the auto business. What most of us want is a small, good-looking, economical car, as demonstrated by our eagerness to buy the compacts. Since they've made those bigger and bigger, we've stopped buying them.

All told, only 14 of the 243 U.S. planes lost over North Viet Nam have...
...with him, gets pregnant by him, narrowly averts "a $200 operation" before he goes away and leaves her. Though intrinsically commonplace, their affair is cinematically modish, caught by cameramen who appear to shoot from the hip, doting on closeups, picking up lots of outdoor mist and indoor cigarette smoke at unexpected angles...
