...Donner's first jobs when he took over at G.M. in 1958 was approving the new 1960 luxury-size compacts-Buick Special, Olds F85 and Pontiac Tempest -then in the clay-model stage. At first skeptical of the compacts-he prefers the term small cars-Donner now thinks that the auto industry has been "witnessing a series of changes that may prove little short of revolutionary over the long run." But Donner does not feel that the compacts will sweep all before their path. He still expects the majority of G.M.'s customers to buy larger cars. Says...
...recent meeting, the HDC voted to submit Shakespeare's "Tempest" and Marlowe's "Jew of Malta" for consideration by the Loeb Advisory Committee. If the Committee turns either of the plays down, the HDC will seek to produce it at another theater...
...tempest that ensued was more notable for the heat rather than the force of its arguments. Despite the fact that all nine members of the senior editorial staff had signed the endorsement, Tigar's opponent declared that "a candidate must be on good terms with the editor" to get support. Tigar's later defeat, it would seem, should have taken the air out of the issue, but after a week the Student Government drew another breath and charged windily that the Daily Californian "had not pursued an editorial policy of honesty and decency." The President of the Executive Committee accused...

It reduced the tags on its Valiant compacts by $19 on the economy series and $34 on the luxury models; Chevrolet trimmed $35 off its Corvair line. Pontiac introduced its new four-cylinder Tempest compact, which has a transaxle-a combination of transmission and axle in the rear-that almost completely eliminates the front-seat transmission hump. It set the factory list price for the four-door sedan at $1,975, or $200 below prices of the Buick Special and Oldsmobile F85 sedan compacts...
Clear air turbulence is exactly what it sounds like: an airplane speeding through a cloudless part of the sky can be ripped apart by an invisible tempest. CAT is most often met just above or just below the 30,000-35,000-ft. jet stream - and modern aircraft like best the levels near the great, racing jet stream. It has been agreed that CAT is caused by wind shear -the "friction" between adjacent air masses moving at different speeds. Last week Joseph J. George, chief meteorologist for Eastern Airlines, told how this knowledge might be put to work to predict...
