...Whitney power plant. But Foyt is nothing if not a pragmatist: he ordered a special "overdrive" gear installed in his Coyote-Ford to save his engine and cut down on fuel consumption. He was content to play tortoise to Jones's hare, drive at a steady pace and allow Parnelli to pull away-gambling that the turbine car would break down before the 500 miles were...

But the Strait must eventually be opened, and the "breathing spell" which the U.S. is now requesting in the U.N. will only allow Nasser to establish his aggression as the status quo. The U.S. should act now, before delay clouds the legitimacy of intervention, or causes Israel to act alone...
