...these dangers, and in this he agrees with Secretary Dulles and with the NATO allies, who have drifted over to a cautious and skeptical position. The chief result of the recent Copenhagen meeting was this change in the NATO attitude, and the emergence of a wariness which gives wider rein to the U.S. in its bickering with Russia...
Whatever psychological forces are at work, the trend ever since 1946 has been to longer, wider, more futuristic cars-and more chrome ("jewelry" to automen). Those who bucked the trend usually rued the day. Henry Kaiser's small, chromeless Henry J. was a dismal failure. So was the drab 1954 Plymouth, which was 4 in. shorter than the year before. Sales dropped nearly 36% to only 381,000 cars a year. A year later Plymouth rolled out the longest (204 in.) car among the low-priced three and promptly boosted sales back up to 647,000 cars...

Until the 19403, the low-priced three-Ford, Chevrolet and Plymouth -manufactured cheap, compact cars meant chiefly for transportation. As demand grew for wider and longer cars with more room and comfort, Detroit changed the once small cars into big ones. From 1938 to date, Chevrolet has grown two feet overall; Ford has grown four feet since 1928. Both are now bigger than the Pontiac, Packard or Oldsmobile of ten years...
