...from the United Nations as they dangled their victim like a political puppet. The end came when they executed Moro with eleven shots fired from a Czech-made Skorpion 7.65-mm pistol and a still unidentified 9.-cal. handgun. Eight shots were centered around his heart. The hatchback Renault in which the body had been placed was left on a narrow, one-block street, Via Michelangelo Caetani, almost equidistant from the nearby headquarters of the Christian Democrats and the Communists. The location was a contemptuous taunt at both of the parties that Moro, more than anyone else, had worked...

But Renaults have not sold well in America; they seem unlikely to draw much traffic to AMC dealer showrooms. Above all, Renault would put no money into cash-short AMC. If this is the best deal American Motors can come up with...
