...there such a thing as a homogeneous city - which helps to account for the Detroit metro area's (relatively) spend-happy ways. Acxiom figures that some 64% of people in Oakland County, Michigan, home to Chrysler headquarters, fall into demographic groups that are more likely to spend. In neighboring Lapeer County, that percentage is 41%. The national picture reflects the same lumpiness. In other words, there are plenty of people in the Rust Belt with tightened purse strings, just as you would expect - but in the aggregate, other pockets of the country have pulled back more.

Many who know the Nichols brothers, who grew up not far away in Lapeer, insist that they cannot be connected with the bombing. "I just can't believe they could have done something like this,'' says Mike Innes, 35, a dairy farmer who buys feed from Nichols and lives only a few miles away.

Contributing mightily to the general excitement and confusion was the erratic behaviour of the Eisenhower train. At Saginaw, Ike had barely opened his mouth to say "Ladies & gentlemen . . ." when the engineer sent the Eisenhower train rolling inexorably away from the assembled crowd. At Lapeer, the next stop, the train again pulled out before Ike could speak, then halted some distance off, where Ike and Mamie began to sign autographs. As the train started up for the second time, Ike caught Mamie in the act of handing a pen down to an autograph-seeker and cried out in anguish...
