...Manhattan's Waldorf-Astoria Hotel one afternoon this week, nearly 1,000 managers and teachers from all over the far-flung Arthur Murray dancing-studio empire gathered to learn a new dance that, vaguely resembles a rumba done in quick time by partners with one game leg apiece. The dance was the merengue, long popular in the Dominican Republic and now a lively candidate for popularity on U.S. dance floors. The merengue (pronounced meh-rew-geh) has already caught on at Manhattan's mambo-mad Palladium, and has begun to spread to less hectic New York dance spots...

...rate of 50 a minute, 120,000 people swarmed into Manhattan's Waldorf-Astoria last week to inspect General Motors' annual road show, the Motorama for 1955. On display were more than 100 exhibits, and, as usual, the stars were G.M.'s cars of the future. But this time there was a difference. In past years the dream cars were almost all flashy sports models; this year they looked as if they might be next year's production models. Pontiac, for instance, featured the Strato-Star, a six-passenger hardtop; Oldsmobile showed off its Delta...
