...prototypes, little hand-tooled bombs that weighed only 1,875 Ibs., were powered by 4-liter,450-h.p. engines, and could nudge 200 m.p.h. on Le Mans' Mulsanne Straight. Unfortunately for Enzo, Ford had a better idea: a new prototype of its own, called the Mark IV, that carried a 7-liter engine and 500 horses under its hood. In pre-race trials, Ferrari mechanics watched disconsolately as four Mark IVs lapped the 8.3-mile track at better than 144 m.p.h., hitting speeds as high as 215 m.p.h. on the straight. The best any of the P4s could muster...

While we certainly wish our rates to be at least "average" from a nationwide point of view, your conclusion in Appendix 2, IV, is not to us a distressing one; and we have not, frankly, been disturbed by the fact that some neighboring institutions pay their Teaching Assistants more than we do. To be perfectly candid about this matter, we believe Harvard has unique educational advantages to offer its Teaching Fellows. Even less...
