...expose any skepticism about this kind of evidence among potential jurors. Cooper asked a widow, Mrs. Rosa Molina, whether she shared the opinion of some that "all psychiatrists and psychologists are crazy." No, she replied. Did she have any prejudices against the Rorschach test, hypnosis, lie detectors or Sodium Pentothol (truth drug)? Again Mrs. Molina answered no, and she was one of those persons who by week's end had been tentatively accepted as jurors...

General Motors sees little chance of bringing down the $15,000 it would cost to produce the silver-zinc batteries in its Electrovair II prototype. But the planning goes on, and should ultimately produce practical results. Among other names and notions being concocted by A.M.C. Styling Chief Richard Teague is a car called "the Voltswagon...
