...They have us in their hip pocket," said Texas Oilman Hap Sharp, complaining that Jiis two Chevrolet-powered Chaparrals were leaking oil and handling poorly on practice runs. Italy's Enzo Ferrari, whose high-whining, finely tuned cars had dominated Sebring for a decade, winning seven times in all, was so pessimistic about his chances of stopping Ford's "steamroller" this year that he bothered to enter only one prototype in the race.

Last week the National Education Association hap pily reported that in at least 75 school systems in the U.S. (out of 28,738) the maximum salary for classroom teachers is $11,000 a year or higher.
