...this issue you will see two of the many letters we have received on our story introducing young (25) Wilson and his prodigious book The Outsider. We remarked it was a pity that American readers, short of ordering it from England, would have to wait until next winter, when it will be published in the U.S. Last week Houghton Mifflin announced that, largely as a result of our review, it had revised its schedule and would bring out the book in September...

Its deliveries in Sweden are four months behind, and Germans must wait up to eight months. Other West German manufacturers are also doing well. Exports of the sleek, expensive Mercedes Benz are up 20%; Porsche has already shipped 1.034 cars to the U.S., almost as many as in all of 1955. Even the French industry is buzzing at a record rate...
