...offices. Brother Maurice, who lives across the road from Daddy and Richard, is the chief mechanic of Petty Enterprises Inc.; First Cousin Dale Inman is the crew chief. The cars that the 35 Petty workers turn out are anything but stock. Everything from frames and brakes to transmissions and exhaust systems is handtooled. A team of four mechanics takes two weeks to build an engine, each one painstakingly tuned to meet the specific demands of different tracks. The end products are so prized that some professional drivers buy their stock cars from Petty. The going price: $30,000. Petty Enterprises...
...automakers been so much on the defensive-or in such deep trouble. Testifying before officials of the Environmental Protection Agency in Washington last week, executives of General Motors, Ford, Chrysler and American Motors stated that their vehicles could not meet the strict-and, Detroit says, unrealistic -standards for exhaust emissions set by Congress in the Clean Air Act of 1970.

Shaped like a standard muffler and attached to the exhaust system, the converter would completely burn hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide,* turning them into harmless water vapor and gas. Estimated cost to the consumer: at least...

In the spring, the construction site became a sea of mud. Hundreds of yards of dikes and runoff canals had to be built. Fiat had to rely on Soviet subcontractors to supply many...
...overhaul the CRR needs. Students left the CRR originally because they objected to the revised Resolution: we fail to see how they can return until its original promise as an even-handed document applicable to all segments of the University community is redeemed. In addition, Paul's amendments hardly exhaust needed reforms in CRR procedures, even though they deal with some of the Committee's more glaring excesses...
