...small cars, the more people who have one car will want two," says GM's Gerstenberg. A small, unostentatious car will be the workhorse for commuting and shopping. The second vehicle could be any of a number of special-purpose types, depending on family habits and interests: a camper for vacations, a pickup truck for light hauling, a sports car for pleasure driving?perhaps even a large sedan for limited use. Some families may own a small car and rent a large one whenever they have to travel somewhere together. Joseph M. Pepek, a dentist in Westfield, Mass., may represent...
...itself is only an interlude between the morning celebrations and the victory or consolation sessions held afterward. It is time for nostalgia-not for reliving old games, but for recalling old tailgating lore. For instance, many remember the 1971 event when a couple got married next to their Winnebago camper and began their honeymoon at half time. No weddings occurred this time, but still many were reluctant to leave. "Not everyone can get out of the parking lot at once," slurred one hanger-on who kept it up way past 6 p.m., when even the boys in Joe Tomaszewski...
East German factories turned out 442,000 refrigerators last year, for example, compared with only 191,500 ten years ago. But quality has remained at a low level.

Young farm boys drag themselves back to the livestock pens to sleep on aluminum lounges beside their hogs or sheep or cattle, while their parents catch the last shuttle back up the hill to where the family camper is parked. Even the midway finally shuts down, and an unaccustomed calm falls over the fairgrounds. Fairgoers somehow find their cars in the mammoth parking lot, load in the family and drive out the gates back to their own lives. Out side the fair, there are harder choices than whether...
Luxury campsites! The very phrase is a non sequitur. As any Boy Scout knows, a campsite is a clearing in the woods where the greatest luxury is a running brook. The basic urge of the true camper is to escape from chlorine, color TV and asphalt. The climb up Mount Horrid is an excellent baptism. In six-tenths of a mile, the trail rises sharply 600 ft. We were out of breath halfway up, and I thought my heart was about to pound out of my chest. At 2,800 ft., the trail levels off on a rocky perch called...
