Brock engineered his victory by presenting himself as everyone's second choice. He was plagued by a loser's image after James Sasser, a former chairman of Tennessee's Democratic Party, took away his Senate seat in November. But the handsome Brock, heir to a candy making fortune, is a good nuts-and-bolts organizer who is conservative enough for Reagan's people though he backed Ford for the presidency last year. He has opposed foreign aid and handgun licensing, but did vote with the liberals against no-knock legislation...
...fact, the DST is notorious for playing political games-and Giscard's government was clearly the loser in the debade, although no one expected it to affect French foreign policy seriously. Declared one former French Foreign Ministry official: "There's only one way for France to go. The Arabs are the future, and we're honest enough to admit it.

His earlier dreams of flashing under the wire first in the Indianapolis 500 have now become the wearying nightmares of a perpetual loser. He has come home to Mansfield, Ohio, to recoup his losses, possibly by never racing again, but at least by making peace with the wife and daughter he deserted, the father he fought with and the town he despised for its conformist inertia. What follows is what the British critics...
