Whatever psychological forces are at work, the trend ever since 1946 has been to longer, wider, more futuristic cars-and more chrome ("jewelry" to automen). Those who bucked the trend usually rued the day. Henry Kaiser's small, chromeless Henry J. was a dismal failure. So was the drab 1954 Plymouth, which was 4 in. shorter than the year before.

And the temper of the sectarian tiger is anything but wholesome now on account of the fear-inspired gloom and emotionalism of current theology...
Since God has ordained marriage, wrote Martin Luther, it is good for a priest to take a wife. But the founder of Protestantism, who did not marry until he was 41, might be surprised at the latest trend among U.S. Protestant ministers-marriage while still in seminary. Married students in leading seminaries rose from 15% in 1935 to 36% in 1955 to 60% last year...
