...former bears with it the taint of Naziism, for present-day speedsters in Germany have their cars marked with a large yellow cross. The disapproval of the installation of "governors" on cars would seem an instance of the strong sporting spirit so prevalent among American motorists, whose driving creed might be "I'll take my medicine if they catch me, but they're going to have to go some to do that...

In spite of her ancestry and her creed, Clara Weatherwax writes first-rate, first-hand U.S. prose that will remind more than one reader of Dos Passes. Her propaganda will propagate few proselytes, but her winged words should strike home to even a carapacic conservative...
