...matter of indisputable historical fact, the oldest U.S. daily is one that does not even bother to advertise the distinction. "Founded by Alexander Hamilton in 1801" reads the masthead of the New York Post, which has been in continuous daily publication since that year* and under the same name.-As for the country's oldest newspaper, daily or weekly, that title, too, lies beyond doubt.

Instead of going in the traditional counterclockwise direction of a U.S. racing horse, Ford's Mustang has bolted off in the wrong direction, like a runaway. That does not seem to bother Iacocca and his men, who know a good deal more about horsepower than about horseflesh. Even in the stable atmosphere of the Ford Division, they know that runaways are hard to catch...
