Then on Friday night, after relieved city and county officials had left their offices, what everyone had feared finally happened. Driving to local high school football games scheduled that evening, thousands of teen-agers and adults were clogging the highways of southwestern Jefferson County, a largely blue-collar section. Honking their horns to signal their opposition to busing, many of them headed toward Valley High School. One youth parked in the middle of the highway−halting traffic completely−and to the cheers of onlookers ripped the hood from his car. Suddenly the mood changed, and the crowd began...
...trend toward trimness is reflected in the few totally new 1976 cars. One is GM's Chevette, a hatchback "sub-subcompact" that is being built in the U.S. to compete in the same price ($3,000 to $3,500) and mileage (roughly 38 m.p.g. on the highway) class as Volkswagen's Rabbit. Ford last week announced that it would rush a minicar entry of its own Into production in Europe in time to reach the U.S. market in 1977.

Their personalities are as diverse as their musical tastes. Leadon and Felder are almost recluses. An eight-mile-long dirt road separates Felder's rustic, ridgeline house from the Pacific coast highway far below. On tour, Leadon is a loner who prowls music stores to discover new instruments for his $80,000 collection. Frey is a nocturnal playboy; Henley reads Rimbaud. Meisner is a family man, calls his Nebraska home daily to check in with his wife and three children...
