Ford announced the recall as the 2002 Explorer--loaded with incentives for current Explorer owners--rolled into dealer showrooms. In advertising the new model, Ford touts a "new level of safety," and well it should. Lower and 2 1/2 in. wider than its predecessor, the new SUV is in many ways the culmination of battles that Ford engineers fought out in documents assembled in connection with investigations and lawsuits.

If this prospect ever intimidated Whitehead, no hint of nervousness appears in his rousing John Henry Days (Doubleday; 389 pages; $24.95). In fact, one of the novel's many characters muses on a hypothetical "second novel, recapitulating some of the first's themes, somehow lacking" because the similarly hypothetical author "tries to tackle too much."
