Half a minute later, seven shots were fired at the car from a high vantage point somewhere to the rear. Recounting the incident a year later. Reed says he crouched under the dashboard of the Datsun for the next block, as the driver weaved through traffic at 50 miles per hour...
...toes'?" says one senior citizen. "He would no longer say 'nigger toes,' the old name for the chocolate-covered creams." Unlike some writers who have moved up, Mason does not bury her past in ironic disdain. A woman who identifies a long, low dog as a "datsun" gets the same neighborly attention as a pastor's wife who plays electronic games rather than attend one more workshop like Christian "marriage enhancement."

Says he: "The potential gain in this industry is more substantial than any other I can think...
...feet away outside is a gleaming white tractor-trailer labeled BOB SHARP RACING. This is the team's machine shop and car van. Sharp is a Connecticut Datsun dealer and former racing champion who prepares the cars that Newman races. He says that Newman is faster around the track than last year; his reflexes have not slowed. It took him a couple of years, but he learned how to be a winning driver. The other drivers quickly got over the fact that his eyes are blue. He has great concentration, almost a woman's delicacy, guts enough...
