Completed in 1970 and equipped by Italy's Fiat, the plant is scheduled to turn out some 500,000 sedans this year.

When defensive, he adduces the strictly legal truth that it is a private corporation whose contents belong to the trustees and no one else - and means that too. Both and neither are right; in the end it is the public that pays for tax-deductible gifts...
