...sentenced to death. Menderes' peasant-based Democratic Party was banned, and the triumphant Republicans of wizened old Ismet Inönü took over. But Menderes' popularity, it seems, has only ripened with time. Barely a fortnight before the nation's general elections, his unofficial successor, Suleyman Demirel, 41, stands a chance of winning the lion's share...

...palace "has bought off eight more Deputies at the cost of Cabinet posts," snapped George Papandreou. In fact, if any buying of votes had been done, it was done by George Papandreou himself during his 15 months as Premier-and therein lies the essence of one of his successor's thorniest problems. Solidifying the popularity he had won throueh his oratory, Papandreou boosted minimum salaries of teachers and civil servants by 12%, increased social security benefits to workers and -in a land where 51% of the electorate lives on the farm-raised farm subsidies from $40 million...

Also possessed of that swing is Trials of O'Brien, starring Peter Falk as a Manhattan criminal lawyer. A comedy successor to The Defenders, it is suffused with a breath of fresh (for TV) wit and literacy, and Falk steeps the role in a New York City boy's moxie and malarky.

All of which should make him an empathic...

Ayub Khan had even less success with Nehru's successor, Shastri. After a private meeting in Karachi, Ayub said that Shastri was willing to compromise on Kashmir but felt he was not strong enough to convince his own government. Ayub added, "I told him that, as Prime Minister of India, it was his duty to build public opinion in favor of a satisfactory solution. He might be criticized by some elements, but the bulk of the Indian people would thank him for relieving them of a great anxiety." Ayub concluded that it was impossible to reach an agreement with...

...through stubbornness or nostalgia-from history's wastebasket. The Model A is one of them. Of the 4,849,340 A's produced between 1927 and 1932, some 300,000 are still standing, and many run and look as good as-if not better than-new. The successor to the old Model T, the Model A has, in fact, proved the most durable car in the world. For its original price tag of $500, it was a remarkably sophisticated and racy automobile. It came equipped with an electric starter, electric windshield wipers and a virtually foolproof heater...
