Looking like the fiercest shark in the pool, Nobel Prizewinner Martin Luther King Jr., 37, was making the best of a bad leave on the eleven with a thin-cut one-rail shot to the corner. Cracked the preacher, who had hustled in from a civil rights walking tour of the city for the game: "I'm just shooting my best stick." No masse demonstrations, please...

The firms compete hotly with each other for almost any promotion-from having their models used on TV shows to supplying cars for celebrities-but the fiercest infighting is to win a favored position with the big rent-a-car agencies. Here, some major changes are occurring. Chrysler has already won the lion's share of the Avis rental business from Ford, and Hertz by year's end will complete a switch that will make Ford...
