Opel has been doing pretty well: it has jumped from 14.3% to 21.1% of the German market since 1952 (v. Volkswagen's 32.5%). It has just discovered, however, that while pursuing Volkswagen it will have to keep a sharp eye on the rearview mirror. Reason: Ford's German subsidiary is coming up fast from the rear. Fortified by new and attractive models, heavy investment and good management, Ford has captured 19.6% of the German market with its Taunus cars, pulling to within honking distance of Opel and bringing the two U.S.-owned companies closer to domination of Germany...

And the adamant boss...
...Capp (which also runs in U.S. papers) is a rude little cockney runt who breaks all the comics' rules of decency: he's unable to hold a job, boozes it up, beats his wife. "Andy sets an appalling example for the youth of England," says the London Mirror Group's Editorial Director Hugh Cudlipp, "but he is irresistible." France's Barbarella, an unmistakable likeness of Brigitte Bardot, is an oversexed, underdressed space girl who beds down with some fantastic creatures, including a gigantic blind angel and a gentlemanly robot. Sprawled nude in bed with the robot...
