...rules were in place to slow the cars, but the changes seemed to be making the racing more dangerous. An earlier crash looked like an Armageddon of a wreck: 19 cars careering around, smashing into one another, Tony Stewart's Pontiac soaring through the air, ripping the hood off another car, metal clanging, a 16-minute red flag to clean up the mess--and only a bum shoulder, Stewart's, as a result. Then on the last turn of the last lap, Earnhardt's famous black No. 3 Chevy Monte Carlo plowed--thud--into the wall and drifted back...
...clearly weren't trying. With so much hardware so readily available, the real competition at last week's ceremony took place between artists trying to bend ever lower beneath the limbo bar of exuberant tastelessness.

"How could I signal the killer? How do you do that? I don't know anything about killers," she says. She says she admired Derwin as well as his wife. And even though Hood was busy with charity work...
...distant memory. Now Greenspan is looking for a hard bounce-back, and that takes not only cheaper money but good psychology. And with the economy - two thirds of which is in consumers' trembling hands - not only screeching to a halt but starting to spew smoke from under the hood, three quarters of a point looks like the only shot in the arm in Dr. Greenspan's medicine cabinet...
