Race officials disallowed Follmer's protest that Minter had deliberately bumped his car three times in the final laps. They fined the Mustang driver $100 for "unsportsmanlike conduct." Said Minter: "At first I thought George was coming out to shake my hand, but when I saw his eyes-he was hysterical!" The point tally as of last week-Mus-fang, 48, Camaro, 26, Javelin, 25, Challenger, 7, Barracuda, 5-held little solace for Follmer. Last year Mustang won four of the first five races and still lost out to Camaro. With seven encounters still ahead, the real hysteria...

Full Jails. Because of the country's reeling disarray, most Ecuadorians greeted the dictatorship calmly. More than just a few regarded its tough stance with approval. Velasco shut the universities, dissolved Congress and promised a shake-up of the Supreme Court, which has sided with his opponents in the tax-collection disputes.

That could pose a danger for the U.S. Right now American officials welcome revaluations because they tend to lower the price of U.S. goods in foreign markets. But revaluations also amount to a gradual cheapening of the dollar measured against other currencies: too many revaluations too close together could shake foreign faith in the dollar as the prop of the world financial system. The outcome could be another series of monetary crises, and perhaps imposition in self-defense by many countries of the exchange controls and trade restrictions that the U.S. has fought hard to dismantle...
