...time-honored teenage traditions. First they went to the mall to shop for gowns for the junior prom this spring. Then they piled into Loren's black Chevrolet Corsica to go for a spin. At 3:45 that afternoon, a few miles from her home in Media, Pa., Loren's car began to drift off the highway, the sort of mistake seasoned drivers make--and correct--all the time.
