After almost three years of writing, Hank Luce moved on to a wide variety of jobs. He played a major role in planning and supervising the construction of the new Time & Life Building, served as circulation director of FORTUNE, director of corporate research and development, London bureau chief for TIME and, since April 1968, publisher of FORTUNE. With it all, says Luce, "I've spent more years at TIME than in any other part of the company. It is, of course, the origin of the company, the first magazine, the great flagship of the group.

Next year's models will include a wide selection of new specialty sports cars and compacts. Chrysler, for example, will introduce its Challenger to do battle with Ford's still highly successful Mustang. Last week President William Luneburg announced that next year American Motors will bring out a Volkswagen-size car called the Gremlin...
Lifelong Friends. The youth club idea originated at Chicago's Central National Bank in 1967 as a way of acquainting young people with the wide range of services a bank can offer. "By extending ourselves now," explains Paul Jaffe, the officer in charge of the Chicago club, "we hope to make lifelong friends." Central National has avoided anything so flamboyant as a beer bust, but its club activities run the gamut from Caribbean cruises to courses in speed reading...
