...well as Frank Sinatra and his clan (Mia was conspicuously absent). But for sheer numbers, no one can outdo the singing King Family, who last week turned out 45 strong for their first Christmas special. Since it followed hard on the heels of their Thanksgiving show, the next blowout viewers can presumably expect is "The King Family Ground Hog Day Special...
Seven Roaring Days. This month, Iran will hold a blowout the likes of which few countries have ever seen. For seven roaring days and seven joyous nights, it will celebrate the coronation of the man responsible for it all: Mohammed Reza Pahlevi, 47, Shahanshah (King of Kings), Aryamehr (Light of the Aryans), and absolute ruler of his nation.

The device, called PosiTrac, is a steel rim fixed to the metal wheel inside an ordinary tire, capped with a thick rubber tread. In case of a blowout, the car can be rolled along on the inner rim at up to 30 m.p.h. Newberg claims that with Posi-Trac, which costs $80 a set, "nails, spikes, bullets, you name it, cannot stop the car insofar as tires are concerned." More conventional solutions are on the way.
