That was last year. "I've grown up a lot this season," says Denny. For one thing, he has learned to put a muzzle on his mouth or at least to temper his cracks. He still insists that "Tiger Stadium is the worst in the league," but now, instead of simply railing that "Detroit fans are the worst I've ever seen," he is careful to limit his complaint to "some" Detroit fans.

In one recent newspaper ad, the "Dodge Boys" urged customers to buy now to "beat the 1969 price increase." From all accounts, the "price scare...
Record-breaking car sales are certainly no cause for celebration by the urban motorist of any country. When he must park, his choices remain-as ever-a scarce spot on the street (where the car may be towed away), a tight little space on a self-service lot (where he is likely to bang up his fenders trying to get in or out), or a garage (where a slam-bang attendant will take care of the fender smashing).
