...helps the car get up to 65 m.p.g. Some 116,000 Smarts were sold last year in Europe and Japan, a 16% increase over 2000. But Americans' appetite for fast, powerful cars and roomy sport-utility vehicles (SUVs) makes it unlikely that they will ever settle for a two-seater the size of a golf cart that takes 17 sec. to go from zero to 60 m.p.h. (about twice as long as the typical car sold in the U.S.). Hence Detroit's preoccupation with fuel cells, which could ultimately clean up even the most monstrous...
ITALY Echo of Sept. 11 When an aircraft crashed into the 30-story Pirelli tower in the center of Milan, many feared a repeat of Sept. 11. Initial investigations revealed that minutes before the crash, 67-year-old Luigi-Gino Fasulo, pilot of the four-seater tourist plane, had radioed air traffic control that he had landing-gear problems.

I head for Will Call as Luci, with her sixth sense about shopping, heads for Souvenirs, which is taking its signal to close from the National Anthem, now being sung. The young man locking the door lets her in, and I join the others after picking up our tickets. Caroline, of course, wants everything in sight. I veto a small bat, which I imagine her using on her infant...
...Their wives gave Yorkin and Lear a two-seater bicycle to mark the launching of Tandem. Two unicycles would have been more appropriate. After the initial box office splash of "Horn," their subsequent movies ("Never Too Late," "Divorce American Style") fared only so-so. They decided to become parallel again, maintaining a loose, collaborative relationship and splitting their pooled earnings...
