...scene was as American as deep-freeze apple pie, the setting was not. The tightly knit settlement of 15,000 U.S. citizens-mainly Air Force dependents with a sprinkling of Army folk-stands on a wooded hilltop above the baroque German city of Wiesbaden (pop. 250,000) at a bend of the Rhine River. In this slumless paradise, each officer's or noncom's family is assigned a completely furnished, one-to five-bedroom apartment in buildings erected for them by the West German government. Some 600 bachelor officers and civilians are housed downtown in the rambling American...
...machine designers-a gap since remedied. Maytag decided to drop annual model changes, use the savings for better quality control, and sales soared To test its 1961 refrigerators, Westinghouse shipped them to nine representative dealers for home testing. The dealers found that the refrigerator doors began to bend and leak air, a design flaw that factory inspection had failed to turn up. Los Angeles Waste King Corp. employs Mrs. Sylvia White, a sociologist, to represent the consumer on the spot. She has shut down a production line because she concluded that a new change was not an improvement, explaining with...
...character who couldn't sheathe his sword, after last season in which too many couldn't extract their weapons. Choreographer Theresa Dickinson provided some pleasing dances, and outstanding movement by the policemen's chorus. Offspring of Sir Robert Peel, they and their well-shined escutcheons boast a bend sinister--they are clearly bastard descendants of Mack Sennett. The Keystone Cops had nothing on this crew in hilarity, and DcVoto should get a medieval medal for putting some of their lines into Gregorian chant...
Notre Dame's winning football tradition began in the '20's. As the glory years rolled on, the teams in the bright green jerseys acquired an air of invincibility. Football fans who had never been in Indiana, much less in South Bend, adopted the team and learned to cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame. In recent years the cheers were mingled with an occasional catcall, for Notre Dame was running into trouble. But even so, no one was prepared for this season's humiliation. Last week's 20-13 loss to Pittsburgh was the sixth...
...answer: plenty. And no one knows it better or more bitterly than Coach Joe Kuharich, 43, a massive, jug-eared man who weighs his words as though measuring out a prescription. As a boy growing up in South Bend, Kuharich used to be shepherded into practice by Notre Dame players and get an occasional greeting from Knute Rockne himself. From 1935 to 1937 Kuharich was a sturdy and aggressive guard on some of Notre Dame's solid teams (the three-year record: 19-5). Kuharich left Notre Dame with just one ambition: to return as head football coach. Kuharich...
