Ford was forced into this odd procedure by a budding driver rebellion against recalls that look to critics like mere patch-up jobs.

Sanderson and his agent fight their way into the jubilant locker room later, and arrange to meet Duke at the Hub, a downtown discotheque. There, the fateful relationship begins.

The line is also the fastest in the U.S., capable of producing 100 cars an hour. The labor force-long-haired, pigtailed and bell-bottomed-is the youngest of any G.M. plant, with an average age of 24 to 25. Now Lordstown, the only U.S. plant that turns out subcompact Vegas, has the industry...
