...enough to see over its bonnet. He has the hands and arms of a jockey; his eyesight is phenomenal. His reflexes are so fast that he could probably pluck a fly out of midair. Clark's business adviser, John Stephenson, remembers a midwinter ride in a sedan with Jim two years ago. "The road was wet and frosty," says Stephenson. "Suddenly we were going into a tight downhill lefthander. I figured it as a 70-m.p.h. corner-but there we were doing 90. The tail started to go, and I thought, this is a shunt for sure. Then...

The group included Gunther Wanderscheck, Reinhold Rimm, and Hans Hauser, together with Cairo Salesman Klaus Böhm, and his wife Gudrun.

The driver got out, complained about having motor trouble. When a cop told him to move on because he was blocking traffic, he opened fire with a pistol. The Lambretta rider also began blasting away. The Saigon cops shot back; the car-driving terrorist was riddled, and the scooter rider fled for his life. One policeman fell, wounded in the stomach. Hearing the gunfire, embassy workers hurried...
