Last week, Cincinnati's Powel Crosley Jr. became the first postwar U.S. auto manufacturer to make a deliberate play for the hot-rod market. He introduced a two-seater "Hotshot" Crosley roadster, looking like a dime-store version of the once-famed Stutz Bearcat (see cut). Although Crosley estimates that not more than one out of 100 owners will use the Hotshot as a racer, he has made it easy for them to do so. Windshield, lights, bumpers and top can be stripped off in a few minutes, readying the car for road or track racing. Its overhead-valve...
Twenty-five years after the era of the Stutz Bearcat and the racoon coat the undergraduate is passing by the classics to jump up end down on the atom. The social isolation of Harvard's first 300 years has been washed away in the revitalizing democratization process of its last 15. Harvard's horizons have broadened and Harvard's "A" has narrowed. But Harvard's crew still rows four miles against Yale at the end of June and all the accompanying hoopla is still there...

Not a single one of the plant's buildings escaped bomb damage; 95% of its remaining equipment was dismantled.

...good while, it appeared that the days of the Stutz Bearcat and the soon coat were gone forever--even from the country club environs of the Dartmouths. There was little hoopla--no sabotage. The Harvard rally had gone off as scheduled Friday night, John Harvard was unsullied by even the faintest tinge of green, and silence reigned through the long, cold pre-game night...
Margle--At the Keith Memorial. If you want to reminisce about the heydays of the Twenties, this is the way to do it. Starring Jeanne Crain, it tells the story of the Stutz Bearcat and the raccoon coat--on the nostalgic level it wins, but as entertainment it is just too close to the senior high school play to keep you in the theatre for long...
