...line of elegantly customized Lincolns, originally conceived by Edsel Ford. It will be produced only in a two-door model, which will weigh in at $8,000. The pitch is clearly for buyers who until now have fallen for luxury hot-rods like Cadillac's front-wheel-drive Eldorado. To win them to Continental-or at least lure them into a Lincoln-Mercury showroom-Ford's engineers and stylists have aimed at "elegant perfection." Says Marketing and Product Planning Manager Ralph L. Peters: "We're going all the way with this...
...Mark III's most obvious feature is a vertical hashmark grille in shimmering metal that closely resembles the grille of a Rolls-Royce. On its 117-in. wheel base, the car mounts an eight-cylinder, 460-cu.-in. engine specially designed to provide improved combustion and cut exhaust fumes.

The chaos is astonishingly well photographed and edited-and, far more than most of the other entries, displays a debt to the non-styles and nongoals of the cinematic Underground...
...inventive writers on Sid Caesar's old Show of Shows. Brooks turned performer himself in 1960, when he and Carl Reiner created a free-form vaude ville routine about the 2,000-Year-Old Man. This character was a geriatric loser with a Yiddish accent who invented the wheel but made it square; someone else cropped off the corners and copped the fortune. Later he met Shakespeare ("What a pussycat he was; what a cute beard"). Typically, The Man invested in Coriolanus instead of Lear...
