Indeed, U.S. drivers in ever increasing numbers are turning for help in that unsporting effort to one of the hottest of automobile accessories, the miniature radar detector...

Or maybe it's because Williams crooned the sound track to Dancing on Ice, a 15-min. skating documentary that has been shown again and again and then several times more on Chinese TV. Ever since, people have been downright bullish in China's shops about his Love Story and other ancient chestnuts. It is not just ideogrammatic titles like Moon River that strike familiar chords in Chinese hearts. "His voice and style more closely resemble...
