...white station wagon, trailed by a dozen Jeeps loaded with gun-slung Arabs and a cavalcade of cars packed with politicians and journalists, Jordan's 23-year-old King Hussein sped westward one day last week from his hot, dusty capital of Amman. On the approach to the Palestinian hills the summer's last harvesters winnowed the wheat by throwing forkfuls in the air as in Old Testament times. As the caravan passed, they chanted in unison: "Welcome, Hussein, welcome, our King." In Nablus, traditional center of opposition to the crown, 4,000 citizens jammed the square...
...familiar to British televiewers as Maverick or Richard (Have Gun) Boone. On London's commercial Channel 9 last week, there were more than nine hours of U.S. shows.

Churchill is betting that the Big Three's entries will fan public interest in U.S. smaller cars, double the market to more than 20%. And he believes that his Lark-already off to a flying start-will wing...
...stocky, short-legged man with a brush of steel-grey hair rises from a big breakfast at his Georgian-style house, shoehorns himself into a midget Triumph estate wagon, and drives a couple of miles to the rolling campus of the National Institutes of Health at Bethesda, Md. Parking his small car in the No. 1 reserved spot, Dr. John Roderick Heller Jr. enters an unimpressive building labeled...
