...ancient steam-driven train from Palermo chugged out of the Sicilian hill town of Zucco-Montelepre one night last week, four masked men emerged from the shadows and hopped aboard the mail car. Guns drawn, they warned the lone mail clerk not to move or they would kill him. Ripping open mail sacks, they collected $19,000, then jumped from the train, leaving the clerk trussed up on the floor. The stationmaster back in Zucco-Montelepre's rickety railroad station, which is eerily lit by flickering oil lamps, allowed as how he had seen the men before the holdup...

For the first six months, the new compacts accounted for 25.1% of the market. Last week General Motors was readying its new compact, one of a new group of scaled-down big cars that will hit the 1961 market. Its name: the Oldsmobile F-85, a smaller version of its big-car brother with a new eight-cylinder...

Newburg (TIME, July u), who was discovered to have owned interests in Press Products Inc. and the Bonan Corp., both Chrysler suppliers. The rattles show no sign of going away. Company auditors were investigating just about everyone in Chrysler's top echelon in search of financial links to Chrysler's suppliers. Irate stockholders, spurred on by the poorest first-half earnings of the big three automakers...
