Said Dick Advey, director of Action Age Inc.: "Americans are so performance-conscious that it would be impossible to have any kind of vehicle in this country and not have it raced.

Woolf's five-part autobiography (last volume to be published this fall) is considered a monument to a generation reared in peace, stunned by World War I and the great Depression, yet remaining optimistic that a new age of reason would dawn. In one anecdote, he recalls a day in 1939, when his wife called him to hear Hitler making a speech. "I shouted back: 'I shan't come.
