Word of the flight soon went out, and the crowds were on their feet, cheering. Police picked up O.J.'s cellular-phone calls and began tracking the Ford Bronco along the San Diego Freeway. Reporters pursuing in helicopters overhead said that he had a gun to his head. People pulled up their lawn chairs to the side of the road to wait for the cortege to pass. They lined the overpasses, waving, shouting, holding up signs -- Go O.J. Go -- as if he were trying to elude a pack of motorized tacklers...

Just last week Chrysler confirmed plans for a large upscale sports vehicle that may sell for as much as $40,000 when the first one arrives...
