...Dave Brinkley, the NBC forces are pledged to use all sorts of cameras, right down to hand-held "creepie-peepies." Battling them every step of the way for nomination as the TViewers' choice will be the CBS group led by Walter Cronkite and Ed Murrow, and the ABC unit under John Daly...
...more per compact than the Big Three, whose invasion of the market has not hurt him. Rambler sales have risen from 6.3% of total industry sales just before the advent of Falcon, Corvair and Valiant to 7.1% today -and are still climbing. Last week Rambler delivered its 300,000th unit for the 1960 model year, is running two months ahead of last year's record production and chalking up sales 25% over the last model year. In two years Romney has doubled production. By fall, American Motors will be able to turn out 625,000 compacts a year. Romney...
...young Anglo-Irishman named Joyce Gary was afraid that it might be the last, for the world was getting too civilized for war, or so it seemed.

Aviation is clearly the better part of valor, but Stewart chooses the hard way. The demolition unit touches off the field and moves out with four trucks, a quantity of dynamite and-combat veterans will relish the realism here-a beautiful Chinese refugee girl. As they rumble through menacing mountain country (ably portrayed by a forbidding chunk of Arizona), Stewart shambles, stammers, scuffs his feet and advises the girl (played by Lisa Lu, a onetime Honolulu Advertiser reporter) that he finds China baffling. The girl, a Radcliffe graduate, replies with a not particularly scrutable line, possibly cribbed from Philosophy...
