...started reporting on the automobile industry the day I arrived here," says Detroit Bureau Chief Barrett Seaman, "and I won't stop until the day I leave. Such is the lot of Detroit bureau chiefs." Seaman was posted to Detroit two years ago. Since then TIME has devoted 61 stories to the troubled automobile makers. For this week's cover story on the present plight and future prospects of the nation's most important industry, Seaman could draw on familiar sources, including the top executives of General Motors, Ford and Chrysler. One whom he knows especially well...
Pepper's life has been an ordeal of "searching for something and never stopping, never being satisfied," as he put it in Straight Life, the unsparing, tape-recorded autobiography (Schirmer; 1979) that he assembled with his third wife, Laurie.

As Harry, he is neverill-intentioned, willing to take gullible George for a ride, but stopping when his delusion gets out of hand. Yet the irrepressible jokester...
...George has had enough this time, and he's left for good--a free man, armed with his latest invention, an envelope with gum on both sides of the flap. At the pub, Harry the horseplayer and the dopey seaman Able (from the new navy) play on George's wild dreams until they convince him that he, with Harry, can revolutionize the envelope industry. Soon George derails again, wanders into the past in a monologue, and we return to the Riley home, a place where, as George explains, "I give nothing, I gain nothing, it is nothing...
