...police helicopter churns overhead, searchlight sweeping over the melee below. For a mile east and a mile west, six lanes of traffic move in caravan, a rolling cacophony of full-blast stereos rising above a cross-lane exchange of insults, come-ons and general greetings. Along the sidewalk-the famous chocolate terrazzo sidewalk embedded with bronze-edged stars framing the names of superstars-gang members defiantly stake out their turf.

Detroit continues to have difficulties selling cars. During the first ten days of July, sales of American-made autos fell to the lowest levels for that period in 20 years, and they have increased only slightly since then. Ford suffered a setback last week when talks broke off with Toyota over plans for the two companies to build cars jointly in the U.S. Such a venture would have...
