...seems to be mellowing. Nothing in his current show comes near to matching the insane intensity of his screaming popes of 1949-53. A study of three male bodies, to be sure, shows one crouched like a foetus and another with his leg in a splint, but the third, who dangles apelike from a pole, has an amiable if freakish mien. A woman lounging in a deck chair turns a face wreathed in a hideous grimace-yet, on second glance, it is obviously nothing more than the grin of a well-fed Cheshire...
...even this. Nor is it asking too much, says Friendly, to require a man brought to the station house to identify himself. Agreeing with the goal of Miranda-to make certain that the rights of the poor and ignorant are protected-Friendly would give an added safeguard against the third degree. He suggests that all questioning at the police station take place before a magistrate. If the man refuses to answer, Friendly's amendment would permit the prosecution to comment on that fact at the trial...
Dropouts. Many buyers have discovered otherwise. The commission cites one survey of 50,000 buyers of new 1963, 1964, 1965 and 1966 cars. Approximately a third complained that their autos were delivered in "unsatisfactory" condition, and a fourth of those with warranties said that repair work was shoddy. Why so many beefs?

More than 25% of 1967-model cars were recalled for possible safety defects. That, says...
...Burlington & Quincy and the 922-mile Spokane, Portland & Seattle. The resulting 26,509-mile system, including a few subsidiaries, would serve 17 states and two Canadian provinces, from Chicago to Vancouver, from Galveston to Winnipeg. The merged northern lines, to be known as the Burlington Northern Inc., would rank third among U.S. railroads (after the Penn Central and the Southern Pacific), with 1967 revenues of $875 million...
...Dollars. For its part, British Petroleum has been looking for more than a decade for just such a U.S. opportunity. It operates in 70 countries, has access to 20% of the world's known reserves, and ranks third on FORTUNE'S list of the 200 biggest non-U.S. companies. Yet B.P. has never won any stars for marketing. Unlike its international rivals, the U.S. majors and Royal Dutch/Shell, it does not have a retail network big enough to even begin to sell its output, of which 85% comes from high-cost Middle East fields. As a result...
