...Their Pedestals. The oak towering above all is Henry Moore (TIME cover, Sept. 21, 1959). Around him have now sprung a turbulent group of younger sculptors. First to appear in the immediate postwar years were Reg Butler, Kenneth Armitage and Lynn Chadwick, whose vaguely figurative iron and bronze forms spoke to stress, anxiety and despair. Succeeding them is another generation that reacts against what one, Anthony Caro, calls their predecessors' "bandaged and wounded art." The wraps are off, the postures have come down from their pedestals and plinths, and the new British sculptors (see following color pages) are forging...
...stopped before proceeding with caution past a flashing red traffic light. When Gonsalves said no, the cop issued an on-the-spot summons. Because the cop failed to warn Gonsalves that he did not have to answer and could consult a lawyer, Police Court Judge Peter K. Rosedale sprung him.

An increasing number, fortunately, have found a more useful path to national pride: hiring foreign architects to design government buildings, hospitals, universities and even cities. To meet this demand, a colony of American firms has sprung up in Rome, which otters the nearest reservoir of technical talent and the best transportation to the underdeveloped nations.

...Detroit have tended to oversteer on curves, sometimes spinning out of control-a problem that the smaller, less powerful European cars have not encountered. Cars with front wheel drive have also proven less efficient on steep grades, noisier at low speeds. Their power must be transmitted to the independently-sprung and swiveling front wheels rather than to fixed rear wheels, requiring a more complex axle that could cost Oldsmobile $150 more per car than the conventional drive. Says a rival Big Three executive: "Front wheel drive is just not worth the added cost in a conventional American...
