The guy would go to court and scream at the judge, 'This cop stopped me, took my driver's license and ate it!' No one would believe that...
...Isaacson greeted Indianapolis 500 Winner Danny Sullivan with a reassuring smile. But soon Sullivan's grin was a grimace. As rock music pulsated through the gray-carpeted, fluorescent-lighted room, Isaacson put the race-car driver through a grueling 1 1/2-hour workout designed to strengthen his lower and middle back after injuries suffered last summer when his vehicle slammed into a wall at 185 m.p.h. in the Poconos.

About half a mile away, Elijah Makagamatha, a black truck driver, triggered a similar device. He too was unharmed, but the blast shattered the legs of a passenger. The next day another mine explosion killed a 25-year-old black driving a tractor. As security officials combed the area, rocket attacks narrowly missed two coal-to-oil refineries at Secunda, near Johannesburg. The outlawed African National Congress called the attacks...
