Aboard the President's plane, the eight-man press pool sits in a rear compartment behind a closed door. No reporter may wander forward without a rare and specific invitation from Presidential Press Secretary Ron Ziegler. Even then, it is only for a quick "photo opportunity" to see the President in conference. With Nixon, the travel days are always predictable; bad scheduling is rare and mistakes never surface. The White House works overtime to show that they never occurred. The President moves at a careful pace, emphasizing his presidential duties, his larger responsibilities. On the stump, he never mentions...
...Chicago traffic light last week, a motorist glanced at the car alongside and gasped to a friend: "Hey, the rear end of that Rolls is a Volkswagen!" Well, almost. What the Chicagoan saw -and what more and more drivers and pedestrians across the U.S. are encountering-is a VW equipped with a fiberglass hood that bears a startling resemblance to the elegant Rolls-Royce front.

Going into a hairpin turn one rider doesn't quite make it and goes careening off the embankment and through the bales of hay. Racing on, the rest of the pack is confronted with a jump that causes them to land in a mudhole. There's another curve, but this time it's filled with sand, and the 40 racers begin to string out because there's only room for six of them to ride...
Last month Cadillac announced that it was recalling 3,900 of the 267,787 vehicles it made this model year. In seven known instances, a weak rear axle had caused the back wheels to separate from the chassis. The endangered vehicles included all Cadillac hearses made this year, as well as floral cars, ambulances and limousines. Presumably, the drivers and passengers in some funeral processions have been running some risk of hastening their...
