...Proved once again that the technological sophistication of U.S. science can be superior to the big-thrust, small-yield accomplishments of the Soviet Union. > Showed the practical aspects of the peaceful uses of space, established the means for practical contact between continents never before imagined, and became a fixture by which man in his own living room and in his own town may witness world events as they happen...
Powers is neither buffoon nor court jester but a shrewd and amiable Irishman who knows the President's moods and specializes in the topics of the day with a dry wit and sometimes sharp thrust.

...first time, will offer Falcon and Comet convertibles. Falcon sedans will take on the Thunderbird's crisp roof line. The intermediate Fairlane and Meteor will add station wagon models and both will change their grilles, the Fairlane from flat to concave and the Meteor to a forward thrust. The standard-size Galaxie will have its massive circular taillights set into cylindrically sculptured rear fenders in a kind of twin jet effect. So that customers can tell a Mercury from a Ford, the Monterey will boast a reverse-sloping rear window that can be opened and shut electrically from...
