...Year? How big the market will grow is anyone's guess. Some small-car importers put the potential as high as 1,000,000 cars annually. Detroit doubts it. Nevertheless, the Big Three are taking a long, fresh look at the possibilities. General Motors already imports its Vaux-halls and Opels at the rate of 23,000 annually; Ford is deep in the market with 27,350 English Fords this year, will soon start importing the German Taunus at the rate of 8,600 a year. Despite all rumors, neither Ford nor G.M. nor Chrysler plans to produce...

Later investigation thoroughly refuted these charges. De Vaux and Harding first thought the Qumran ruins were simply an insignificant Roman fortress. Further digging disclosed, however, remains of a "monastery", complete with a fifteen-foot tower which was still standing. Its walls were forty feet square and five feet thick. The rest of the building consisted of courts, passages, a scriptorium, and many other rooms. Coins found definitely dated the building, and pottery linked the building with the caves.
