...question most asked of the first American to orbit the earth is what it was like to step on the moon (He never did.) Among the 15,000 people who turned out for the Fourth of July parade in Clear Lake, Iowa, in which Glenn rode in a 1964 Chevrolet convertible, was Jim Conrin, 63, farmer and loyal Democrat. Mondale, he said disparagingly, was "an establishment politician," but he noted of Glenn: "I like his sincerity." Rather than emphasizing specific issues or making promises to special constituencies, Glenn has concentrated on evoking a sense of traditional values that he hopes...
...Bekaa Valley, Arafat was working hard to strengthen his position as well as to demonstrate his continuing support. On one of these excursions, his eight-vehicle motorcade raced over the rutted, dusty roads of eastern Lebanon at 70 m.p.h., with the chairman riding in a dark-blue, late-model Chevrolet sedan equipped with bulletproof windows.

Ford sold 25.3% more of its big Crown Victorias, and 9.8% fewer of its little Escorts. Ford is extending the life of its Victoria and Grand Marquis models, which were to have been phased out this year, and Chrysler is keeping its big New Yorker and producing large cars 16% faster than it did four months ago. Chairman Lee Iacocca, however, wants...
...time Americans supported Americans. The job you save may be your own." Delta workers are understandably sympathetic to Moe's logic, so much so that more and more of them are dropping by local showrooms to see what Detroit has to offer. Moe drives a Chevrolet Corvette, but he admits, somewhat sheepishly, to owning a twelve-year-old Sony TV. If it ever wears out, he'll buy American. Meanwhile, Moe's philosophy gives no quarter to visitors like the copy-machine repairman who groused about having to park by the Little League field across the street...
