And on the eve of his departure from Europe, Stars and Stripes presented him with a certificate making him an honorary lifetime editor.

At some small Manhattan parties, half the men now show up in turtlenecks...
...price low, A.M.C. will forgo annual styling changeovers, thus saving retooling costs. But Chapin does not intend to economize all the way. Two sporty specialty cars are in the works, and this week three jazzed-up Rebel station wagons will be introduced. Main features: "simulated natural tan leather" side trim for Midwest and Southwest markets, "black camera grain" in the East, and "bleached teakwood" on the West Coast and in Florida...
