...Mahal. Last week, amid the wandering beer barons and compliant courtesans, a newcomer dashed in and out in a bright succession of tight slacks and V-necked blouses, occasionally pausing to effulge a visitor with her smile, occasionally cutting out of the creepy joint in her baby-blue Ferrari...
...Actor William Holden mused aloud: "I really don't know why, but danger has always been an important thing-to see how far I could lean without falling, how fast I could drive without cracking up." This summer he found an all too tangible answer: his $11,000 Ferrari, whining along at a reported 110 m.p.h. on a limit-free Italian autostrada, crunched into a tiny Fiat, killing a Florentine businessman.

California's Dan Gurney set an unofficial lap record of 142.9 m.p.h. in a Mark II, and Fords won the first four places on the starting grid. That made it easy for Beebe. Start in front, he ordered his drivers, stay in front, force the Ferraris to press, and wait for them to break down. It worked. Pouring on the gas, nudging 210 m.p.h...
