...Sony chief Idei Nobuyuki pulled out every conceivable stop in his tightly scripted two-hour speech, starting with a five-minute intro from Stuart Little, the animated mouse who stars in Sony's forthcoming answer to "Toy Story."

...showed up for my $500, three-hour Intro to Racing course at 9 in the morning at the Laguna Seca motor speedway in Monterey, Calif. Before the classroom lesson, the instructor, Andrew Shoen, sent me into a room to put on a red racing suit, a helmet, some driving gloves and a fake mustache. The mustache was my idea--it seems to be part of the NASCAR uniform. Much of what Andrew said made sense to me until he got to the double-clutch, heel-toe downshifting maneuver, which is the heart of racing technique. It was at this point...
