American Motors executives announced production of 500 tricolor SC/ Ramblers -steamed-up versions of the family economy car-and then watched delightedly as a flood of orders obliged them to triple the total. Sales of Plymouth's 1969 Road Runner-available with the "beep, beep" horn of its cartoon namesake and a 425 h.p.

With its five-man horn section, the group is also the most successful attempt yet to combine jazz-flavored brass and reeds with rock guitar and rhythm.

He is psychologically humiliated at an anti-white Horn Power demonstration and is badly beaten up by a deranged Episcopal priest, whose own congregation, at Horn's command, has deserted him for Pratt's church. At a floor-by-floor, six-story orgy staged by Horn, Pratt is exposed to blatant homosexuals, naked prostitutes, hallucinatory drugs. Then one of Horn's co-workers and antagonists threatens to blind and castrate him. Finally, the cowering priest is coated with pitch and thrown naked out into the streets. There at last...
...body burned free of all its hair, Pratt's mind verges on madness. Though he has survived these trials, Pratt still lives in fear and trembling of Horn and his apocalyptic world. And in the end, when someone attempts to kill Horn, it is Pratt who tries to protect him. Secluded in the bowels of Pratt's church, where Horn has maintained a secret hideout for years, the two men finally reveal themselves to each other. Pratt has always been a misfit-he says-though he does have the courage to admit his fears and weakness. Horn emerges...
