Stiff federal controls on carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions, scheduled to take hold on 1975 model cars, have been a migraine for the automakers. But for Milton Rosenthal, a lawyer who is chief executive of Engelhard Minerals & Chemicals Corp., Washington's demand for cleaner air could produce a bonanza. Engelhard makes a catalytic converter-a steel cylinder containing a platinum-treated honeycomb structure-that changes some toxic gases into harmless substances.

Assagai, for his part, shared an illustrious ancestor (Man o' War) with France's Behistoun and Silver Shark. Silver Shark, in turn, was related to Britain's David Jack, and the U.S.'s Tom Rolfe...
