...many Americans, a home is not a house. It is a vehicle. The rolling residence, full or part time, may be a $330,000, 40-ft., custom-converted Greyhound bus or a third-hand '52 Flexible less than half that size and one-thirtieth as expensive.

MORE than anything else, this was the year of the Anniversary in Eastern Europe. The celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of the defeat of Nazism--always accompanied by fervent expressions of undying gratitude to the Soviet liberators--dominated city squares, billboards and television screens in every remote part of every Warsaw Pact country.
