That was half a century ago. Today the posted speed limit on the Kansas Turnpike is 80 m.p.h. "Comet," "Tempest" and "Fury" are synonyms for "car." Legislators in Washington are worried about too much speed and too little safety, and the U.S. Automobile is praised more faintly than the Teen-Ager and the Pill. All of which is likely to make this year's 500, coming when it does, the most controversial ever...
Other than the Mustang, the best performers this year are sporty intermediate-size models and some luxury cars. The fastest risers-Chevelle, Chevy II, Tempest, Riviera, Fairlane, Lincoln, Belvedere, Coronet-were all restyled for '66.

Under a curtailed budget the Loeb would never again be able to underwrite anything as elaborate as last Fall's The Tempest or Utopia Limited the year before. A show requiring several complicated sets or expensive costuming could not be produced for $1700. This year, only the revived Leverett House operas were staged at the Loeb for less than that amount; in that instance money was saved because flats and costumes from the House production were used on the main stage...
