...evangelist of the auto industry, President George Romney of American Motors Corp., announced last week that he was "lighting the candle" for his second crusade. (His first: the compact car.) The new crusade, he declared at a New York press conference, is a "progress-sharing plan to aid the neglected consumer." As of Dec. 1 through March, customers who buy American Motors cars will get rebates of U.S. Savings Bonds if sales increase enough over the year-ago levels...
...wondered why she had never sung at the Met. The Metropolitan Opera's Rudolf Bing continued to ignore Farrell, either because of misplaced gallantry over her heft (5 ft. 5½ in., 180 Ibs.) or because of her limited operatic repertory.

What is the "postmodern" era to be like...
...benefits that would accrue are almost dazzling. No longer would the country's progress be obstructed or impeded by Southern Congressmen hoary with seniority and ready to invoke the filibuster whenever their sectional demands are thwarted.
