Short of space in its Canadian facility, Studebaker has rented 50,000 sq. ft. in a nearby warehouse. For parts to replace those it no longer makes, the company orders 65% from Canadian suppliers (the 1965 Studebaker engine is made by a General Motors Canadian subsidiary), the rest from the U.S. Its dealers, most of whom also handle other cars, have remained remarkably loyal; though the company feared that it might lose half of its 1,900 U.S. dealers, only 200 have quit...
Britain does not intend to leave its former colony high and dry, has committed $15 million to an ambitious five-year industrial-expansion program that has already created a small but thriving factory district in Valletta. But Malta is far too tiny (122 sq. mi.) and barren to produce enough to feed its dense population of 330,000. So Nationalist Prime Minister George Borg Olivier is taking the path of Malta's history: loudly promoting the glories of its wide beaches, its ornate cathedrals, mosques and fortresses, and its 4,000-year-old ruins, he is looking forward...
...whale, the craft is the world's first aluminum submarine. Its 51 -ft. hull consists of eleven forged cylinders.

...When the President stepped on the balcony, the crowd of some 20,000 sang a noisy "Happy birthday, dear Lyndon," and soon afterward the President called it a night. It took three tons of gunpowder to light the skies with a huge fireworks show, topped off by a 600-sq.-ft. pyrotechnic portrait of Lyndon in red, white and blue...
...Joaquín Vaquero Turcios, 31, son of an established Madrid landscapist, is a bold muralist whose works form walls in churches, hospitals and universities across Spain, even an 8,611-sq.-ft. bulwark in an electrical plant in Grandas de Salime. His murals are close to "official" art, full of public consciousness, but when he won first prize at the 1963 Paris biennial, it was awarded for his feverish blend of abstraction and figuration. Vaquero Turcios fears gimmickry in the Spanish preoccupation with paint as material rather than illusion. But he himself uses a latex and plastic mixture...
