...church and I'm singing, 1 love not to see the distant scene: one step enough for me,' I think of John Vorster. He's not prepared to go far enough." Adds one of Vorster's own Cabinet ministers: "John's heart has always been in the ox-wagon wing of the party. His head told him it was time to be more liberal, but the heart still rules him." A year ago, Vorster was regarded as belonging to the verligte (enlightened, or moderate) wing of the party; but since the Soweto rioting began, the center of the ruling National...
...motorized bike is catching on rapidly in the U.S. as a practical, inexpensive form of short-haul transportation for commuters, students, the elderly and fresh-air lovers out for a spin-not to mention the suburban housewife who is reluctant to drive a gas-guzzling, nine-passenger station wagon two miles for a can of tuna.

For the Bradleyville young who go away and come back, the big news 20 years later is, "The Dairy Queen put in a new parking lot." As for social vision, Bradleyville sees little beyond the astigmatic pathos of the Knights of the White Magnolia, a secret order that makes...
American Motors, whose best hope, the squat Pacer, was a terrific sales disappointment, lost $43.2 million in 1975. It has stretched the Pacer 4 in. to make it a station wagon. Gremlins and the intermediate Matadors are newly sweetened by having some of last year's options as standard equipment...
