Some of the talent, like Norman Chandler's wife Buffie, is home-grown and thrives on achievement. Trim and smart (dresses by Dior and Balenciaga) at 56, Buffie Chandler first dived energetically into public life in 1935 as a volunteer at the Los Angeles Children's Hospital, inevitably became a trustee. Inevitably, too, she became a regent at the University of California, almost singlehanded rescued the foundering Hollywood Bowl concerts, collected civic committee chairmanships like baubles on a charm bracelet. It was she, says her husband, who steered the Times into its long war on the great...

...West Germany's Volkswagen, Britain's Hillman Minx. Looking for a share of this market, France's Renault is plumping its racy (up to 75 m.p.h.), efficient (43 miles per gallon), economical (from $1,645) Dauphine.

Even the sixth-place Giants have come on so fast that their fans are talking of 1951, when a midsummer spurt shot them all the way to the top. And all the while, on the edge of the pack, ready to drag down...
Ford has completely restyled the 1958 Lincoln. The Mark II Continental has been discontinued, but Ford has saved the name for its highest-priced Lincoln, which will be set apart by different trim, quality gadgets such as a retractable back-up light. Ford hopes to make Lincoln 1958's handsomest auto. In any case, it will certainly be the largest-229 in. in overall length, 3 in. longer than Chrysler's Imperial, and 9 in. longer than G.M.'s competing Cadillac...
