As for his native England, the playwright's blessed plot resounds with Shakespeare, from the Old Vic to Regents Park, where the lyrics of The Tempest boom through stereophonic loudspeakers suspended from the trees...

The Tempest will be similar to the Corvair in styling, but will be five to ten inches longer. The Tempest will also feature a trans-axle, a driveshaft system that has the engine up front but the transmission and differential in the rear...
