...forced to choose between its new public and its resistance to extensive restyling. AMC hopes to stick with its basic '63 styling for at least three years. Says Cross: "We haven't opened Pandora's box." Nor has the company any hankering to stray outside the compact field. "The most rapidly expanding part of the auto market today is the compact segment," says President Abernethy. "It currently accounts for 38% of the market, and we expect it to go up to 50% before long." AMC's 1963 sales goal: 620,000, up 28% over...
...Bartolet at the helm, Harvard gained its last touchdown, but not before Bartolet had fumbled, and was trapped for an eight yard loss. A pass from the 16 to Hudepohl almost did the trick, but Hudepohl fumbled at the five. Dick Diehl was again the saviour, pouncing on the stray pigskin at the one.

...million installation, a cubist's delight of domes and circles, triangles and squares. Inside the geometric shapes are housed four separate radar networks, the guts of the Nike-Zeus system: one detects ICBMs from 1,000 miles out; another, the "discrimination" radar, distinguishes genuine warheads from decoys and stray space debris; target-tracking radar follows the ICBMs on their reentry; and missile-tracking radar guides the Nike-Zeus to its target. Computers-one capable of 200,000 calculations per second- handle information so swiftly that the whole process lasts two or three minutes from detection to interception...
...shot. Then the wind faded and the device was detonated. Standing on a mountain-top 57 miles away, observers could not hear the explosion. But they saw its effect perfectly: a great mass composed of thousands of tons of granite boulders, sand, clay, yucca trees, sagebrush, tumbleweed, and even stray kangaroo rats, rabbits and rattlesnakes was hurled 7,000 ft. into the sky.
