...larger, more powerful RX-2. Their appeal lies in jackrabbit speed and smooth riding. The Mazda can accelerate from zero to 60 m.p.h. in 13 sec., and the faster the car is driven, at least up to 100 m.p.h., the quieter it sounds to passengers...
...Quieter Bazaar. Last week a substantial part of the computerized future arrived-not for the proud exchanges but for the humbler over-the-counter market.

Tucked in quieter corners of this carnival, for the very smallest children, are tamer rides which turn in small circles, go very slowly, and remain perfectly level. They are designed to prevent the children from crying, to avoid upsetting them, rather than for excitement...
