...Motors was readying its new compact, one of a new group of scaled-down big cars that will hit the 1961 market.

The German postal administration even imported a group of Spaniards, rushed them through a language course to learn...
...proud Chinese are making prodigious efforts to repay the Russians for their aid and to free themselves of their need for it (officials "hope" they will be self-sufficient in machine-tool production by 1970). They keep their Soviet technicians apart in a suburb of Peking and forbid their own students in Russia to marry or keep company with Russians. They make the most of their sheer numbers. In the China Quarterly, Professor Robert C. North of Stanford University tells of talking to one gloomy Soviet engineer who had worked out the possibilities as neatly as a chess problem: "Suppose...
