...latest thing in auto accessories is "jaguar chest" and "corvette hip." So reported Dr. Jerome F. Strauss Jr. of Chicago last week, in a letter to the Journal of the American Medical Association. The use of smaller cars has become so wide spread, said Dr. Strauss, that doctors should watch their patients for a "small-car syndrome," marked by complaints of chest and hip aches. He suspects that the aches can often be traced to a smaller car or sports car, which has less room, requires more muscle power to drive...
...Strauss first noted the symptoms in patients who had just bought small cars, discovered that the signs usually develop a day or two after the driver begins using the vehicle. The most common complaints are mild muscle spasms or muscle tenderness. The only sure way to relieve the symptoms is to stop driving, says Dr. Strauss, but small-car owners are more likely to make their malady a badge of brotherhood, like a dueling scar.

Overhead, at the top of a 60-ft. pole, three flags billowed in the breeze: the Stars and Stripes, the Lone Star of Texas, and a blue standard with five stars and the initials L.B.J., which...
...first, Strauss tried to bluster out the storm by calling in the U.S. and British ambassadors to complain at the leak. When that did not work, he grudgingly conceded that he would make no further move on the Spanish project without specific NATO approval-which now may prove hard to get. Even after a stormy 2½-hour session with the West German Parliament's defense committee, Strauss continued to insist that "the logic of our ideas and assessment of strategic necessities cannot be disputed," and West Germans asked in hurt tones how their allies could cherish such unworthy...
