...odds of winning the spiffy Mustang convertible in the Alpha Beta supermarket chain's California Dreamin' sweepstakes, the entry form said, were about 1 in 3.7 million.

...first non-Ford to head it. Iacocca had been in the running, but Ford fired him in 1978. "I think you should leave," he told him. "It's best for the company." Iacocca demanded to know why this was being done to the man who fathered the Mustang and had just led Ford to two years of record profits.
