...movie-praised Vixen in a lavish piece headlined "At the Top of the Skin Flick Heap." From there on, the professional advertising machine went to work to produce a genuine hit. A woman with a breathy voice made a series of subtle ads ("Vixen-is she woman or animal"-pant-pant) for the local radio stations. By August the theater owners knew they were riding a good thing.

...p.p.m. "It is most exciting," says Haagen-Smit. "You get behind another car, and the pointer goes way up, especially where you have a slowdown of traffic." Top readings come at the nightmarish interchanges, where curling roadways tangle like spaghetti on a fork and hundreds of car engines pant in frustration. "Tunnels and depressions concentrate the carbon monoxide," says the professor, "but in that interchange area it's really stinking...
