...addict is really serious about racing, he can enter one of the 9,000 stock-car or 2,000 sports-car races held in the U.S. each year. For $1,000, he can even take a one-week course in competition driving from Racer-Designer (Ford-Cobra) Carroll Shelby. For the really successful racing driver, the rewards are great. Fred Lorenzen has already won $63,675 on the stock-car circuit this year, and A. J. Foyt, who is equally adept in stock cars, sports cars and Indianapolis roadsters, won $250,000 in 1964.

...this suggests that narcotics workers are face-to-face with a second monkey on the addict's back. Sorrowfully, Brown admits to being stumped on the problem of prying Mom loose. He tried group therapy to get the mothers interested in their sons' problems, admits it was "a disaster-all they did was feel sorry for themselves." Now he is campaigning to have the sons leave home, but he finds Mom just as tough a campaigner. A few weeks ago, one mother searched through more than 50 rooming houses on Manhattan's 14th Street until she turned...
