Many entries are over in the repair section. Berkeley's yellow, gull-winged two-seater, with students draped all over its chassis, is splayed open like' a turkey awaiting stuffing."A little overhaul?" asks the car owner.

Stout, one of the Journal's founders and chairman of its parent company. Sullivan has loosened the magazine in other ways as well. An understated but chatty "People" section keeps readers posted on the doings of Government and media luminaries, and an "Update" column concisely covers developments along such news-fronts as national health insurance, coal-burning rules and tax cut alternatives.
