Everyone involved-from engineers to Conductor Silvio Varviso-has outdone himself...
...those men have their price," sneered England's 18th century Prime Minister, Sir Robert Walpole, speaking of his opposition.

Overton plans to fly the Gulfhawk, just as Race-Car Builder-Driver (Chaparral) Jim Hall expects to take...
...also rated a world-record auction price. With the bid at $35,000 (already past the previous record high of $31,000), Johnson gunned the engine; with the throaty 56-h.p. roar, the bidding shot to $40,000, did not stop until it reached...
