...Buick, its production of '58s halted at 242,000, v. 400,000 in the '57 model year, has scrapped its boxy, overchromed styling, will turn out a comparatively chrome-free, conservative "comeback car" in a "complete break with the past." The longer, lower, wider '59, which will come out in mid-September, will taper from its flaring, high-finned rear to its shovel-snouted front. It will have slanting double headlights like the 1958 Lincoln's, and bigger front and rear windows. Only this year's toothy aluminum grille will remain...
...patches splattered over big parts of Texas, Libya and Australia. And it is easy to show, he says, that if they belonged to a loose swarm of small objects in the solar system (e.g., disrupted comets), the gravitational pulls of the sun and its planets would have spread them wider than the diameter of the earth. So they could not fall in any kind of patch...

All the major overseas operators will be members, plus several wholly domestic companies, which were excluded from the Suez committee. For better coordination the plan provides a fulltime government employee (probably Oil Import Administrator Matthew Y. Carson Jr.) as chairman-rather than an industry representative, as during Suez.

...more than nine times that much. Iraq provides only between 9% and 10% of Great Britain's total oil requirements, though it does ship about 34% of France's current supply. Any cutoff of its oil could easily be made up by cracking the taps a fraction wider in other Mideast fields, such as those in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia...
...Statistician Harold F. Dorn of the U.S. National Institutes of Health. Dorn's project was begun in 1954 as a check on the disturbing findings from the American Cancer Society's famed Hammond & Horn survey of 188,000 U.S. males. Researcher Dorn threw his statistical net even wider: it covered 198,000 men (and a sprinkling of women) holding Government life insurance as a result of military service between...
