...weapons were in keeping with the times: automobiles. The battle ground was the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the world's toughest, most famous auto race, the one the French themselves call "La Ronde Infernale." The combatants: Italy's canny old Enzo Ferrari, whose heraldic emblem, a rampant black stallion, has been the proudest marque in racing for more than a decade; and the U.S.'s Henry Ford II, a businessman-turned-sportsman mostly because he had a score to settle. Three years ago, Ford tried to buy control of Ferrari. Ferrari turned him down...

Bordinat also sees the '67s as "Italianesque." Maybe like Sophia? No, like Ferrari. Many of them will also look considerably like the Mustang-the one car of the 1960s that dared to be different and, as a result, helped Ford to close its sales gap with the rival Chevrolet Division to a 1.2% difference in market penetration...

Died. Battista Pininfarina, 70, Italy's virtuoso of automobile styling, famed for the sculptured elegance of his sports and grand touring cars, whose Turin plant turned out 75 mostly handcrafted auto bodies a day at prices ranging from $2,500 for a Fiat to $18,000 for a Ferrari, each stamped with the designer's genius for sweeping, uncluttered, unchromed lines, something that Detroit has come to admire in recent years; of liver disease; in Lausanne, Switzerland...

On the 200th lap, Pennsylvania's Mario Andretti tried to downshift his non-factory Ferrari from fourth to third, slammed the lever into first instead.

Miles & Minutes. The tragedies took the bloom off what otherwise would have been a glorious victory for Ford. One by one, the miles and minutes took their toll of Ford's main competitors: the two Chaparrals were both out of the race by the second hour, and the Ferrari 330 P3 retired to the pits on the 172nd lap with a frozen gearbox.
