The 1962 engineering staff was not standing still. The TorqueFlite transmission weighed 60 pounds less, and gave the driver full manual control for the first time. If you selected first, it stayed in first until you selected another gear, or something expired! It ... incorporated a "park" position, for the first time, that was operated by a small lever to the left of the push buttons. The interior received a reduction in the front hump for more room. This allowed elimination of the driveline emergency brake, and a redesign of the rear wheel assembly that encompassed the Bendix brakes that were self adjusting.

The second in Library of America's three-volume collection of Vladimir Nabokov's novels, Novels 1955-1962 contains his most acclaimed and popular works. The short, often anthologized Pnin is included, as is Pale Fire, Nabokov's most elaborate fictional joke: it's a novel masquerading as a 999-line poem accompanied by a professorial pedant's extensive annotations. But this deluxe volume is most valuable for its inclusion of Lolita alongside the screenplay that Nabokov wrote for Stanley Kubrick. Kubrick's film is quite different from the version Nabokov intended, and Novels 1955-1962 offers the opportunity to compare Lolita's two Nabokovian incarnations with Kubrick's film and with the recent, very controversial movie directed by Adrian Lyne and starring Jeremy Irons.

For the 1962 publication of a deluxe book on the making of the Jerusalem Windows, Chagall executed two original lithographs (M. 365 and M. 366) and Charles Sorlier, Chagall's Master Printer at the Mourlot workshop, where Chagall executed all of his lithographs from 1950 until his death, made twelve 20-color stone lithographs after Chagall's final models for the windows under Chagall's supervision. The work was published by Andre Sauret, one of the great European art book publishers of the middle third of the century, and published in an edition of unknown size (although it is hard to find copies now and impossible to find them inexpensively even when they can be found). The image size of the lithographs is 296x215mm; each is prices at $575 and comes matted in an archival 16x20 acid-free museum board mat. At the moment we only have 10 of the tribes in our inventory; we will add the other two if we can find them.

Brazil's charming style was a crowd favorite at the 1962 World Cup in Chile. Brazil adopted the 4-3-3 formation and started off the tournament with a 2-0 victory over Mexico with goals from Pele and Zagallo. The former was injured early in the tournament so Amarildo took his place. Regardless of Pele's absence, the team marched on, beating Spain, England and Chile to advance to the final. Brazil played with the typical Latin flair and Garrincha was its epitome. He scored four beautiful goals throughout the cup which were ... pivotal for his country's success.

On July 31, 1962, Niels Miller, the man who built Miller Electric from a basement workshop to one of the world's largest manufacturers of welding equipment, died at age 63. Much of Miller's early growth is directly attributable to Mr. Miller's inventive genius and leadership.
