...rainy day in Johnson country, and precisely at 8 a.m. on Election Day the President and Lady Bird arrived at Johnson City's one-story stone Pedernales Electric Cooperative Building to vote. They cast ballots 1 and 2. Then, with the President at the wheel of a white Chrysler station wagon, they led a 20-car caravan of reporters and Secret Service men on a jouncing, 51-mile, four-hour ramble over the Johnson "propity...
...Lennon, everyone is a failure. When every saw has broken on Ringo's ring, the Jeweler declares that he must use the wheel. "The wheel?" says Ringo. "Even the Royal House of Hanover had the wheel, sir," replies the Jeweler. And when, of course, the wheel breaks, Lennon sneers, "Jeweler, you're a failure, aren't you, Jeweler...
...Detroit's most impressive innovation is a completely new car: the Oldsmobile Toronado, first U.S. model in 29 years with "front-wheel drive." A six-passenger sports coupe, it has an engine that feeds power directly to the front wheels. Because those wheels dig into a curve and pull the car along like a train or a trailer-truck, the Toronado corners as smoothly at 60 m.p.h. as many cars do at 35 m.p.h., does not need chains or snow tires. Test drivers who were assigned to overturn it found that almost impossible to do because...
Small European cars such as Renault and Peugeot have long had front-wheel drive, and so had the U.S. Cord in the 1930s. Critics contend that the system has disadvantages, but Oldsmobile General Manager Harold Metzel argues that engineering advances eliminate them. Power steering prevents sway and loss of control on turns; an adjustable torsion-bar suspension system eliminates over-steering. The Toronado will cost about $5,000, and Metzel anticipates sales...
...products that Ronson is bringing out this week. The four: a rotating electric hairbrush that massages as it grooms; a combination blender-cooker that whips up omelets or sauces; a butane-fired chafing dish; and a somewhat improved butane cigarette lighter, with the first do-it-yourself replaceable spark wheel. Such innovations are expected to help raise sales from last year's $69 million to $77 million in 1965. That's quite a bit for a company started 70 years ago by a tinkerer named Aronson, who invented a one-motion cigarette lighter, dropped the A from...
