...chased each other -hare and hound in the fragile cockpits of Grand Prix racing cars-across four continents, ten months, 15 highspeed races. One of them, Niki Lauda, the reigning champion of Formula I, had nearly given his life to the quest in a flaming crash at Germany's treacherous Nürburgring course. The other, James Hunt, racing's brash and rising star, had invested his considerable zest in the discipline needed to hone his talents. Only three points separated them-Lauda leading-in the contest for the World Driving Championship when they came to the final...
...Sunday Woman is a double-barreled puzzle, about which one does not know whodunit and one does not care either. The movie, steadfastly hare brained, has an unreasonably attractive cast: Jacqueline Bisset, elegant and wry as a bored member of Turin high society; Jean-Louis Trintignant, absorbed and enigmatic all the way through the part of a bisexual aristocrat.

Another, who had smoked about ten in three hours, had the same reaction but recovered within 24 hours. Hare Rama Bidis are an Indian import made from an Asian tobacco that contains up to ten times as much nicotine as the tobacco used in U.S. cigarettes...
White Money. The two most frequently cited causes for the decline of the black press are economics and the brain drain. "The black press today must mostly depend on white advertising," says Psychologist Nathan Hare, former publisher of the militant intellectual magazine Black Scholar. "But it is very difficult to make money and be a voice for black revolution." A National Urban League study of the black press reports that "in 1974 black media received less than 1% of the $13.6 billion in advertising agency billings." With the recent recession hitting their thinly capitalized black advertisers especially hard, even...
