...Motors thrown in to make trucks and utility vehicles. American-designed cars would run on German (or Italian) engines, and joint dealerships around the world would be able to match the market penetration that only GM and Ford had at the time. It was one of Iacocca's typically brash ideas...
...stanza of "Poem Noir I": "I'm in a bad mood/Fit to kill/One might say/Not that I would/Just don't give me a weapon."

The new smart aleck--its voice distinctive, sophomoric, self-assured--thrived, almost from the start: born lucky. The magazine sailed through the 1920s as if the decade were a breezy shakedown cruise...
