...Somehow that personal relationship survives today. Jeep buyers seem undaunted by the $12,000 starting price of AMC's new top of the line Wagoneer Limited, which has almost every luxury-car feature and for which there is a long waiting list. Sales of the least expensive $5,000 CJ. (for civilian Jeep) - a doughty, roofless runabout that is a direct descendant of the wartime model-have never been brisker. Rising gasoline prices have not deterred buyers, although industry sources say the Jeep fleet averages about 11 m.p.g. But federal authorities have directed that four-wheel-drive fleets must...
...score was knotted five times in the next 12 minutes, although the Crimson never fell behind as both teams suffered cool hands from the field. With 2:20 remaining in the half, a closely-guarded and highly-contorted Fine threw up a behind-the-back shot that somehow found its way into the net.

...dimness about the fast women and corrupting mobsters he meets on his rise to the top. Aided by his gruff but honest manager (George C. Scott), his faithful second (Red Buttons), and the love of a good woman (Trish Van Devere), he refuses to tank his big fight and somehow manages to get his law degree. In one of those lightning denouements that were a feature of this kind of moviemaking, he becomes a district attorney so that he can prosecute the heavy (Eli Wallach) for murder...
