...good as-if not better than-new. The successor to the old Model T, the Model A has, in fact, proved the most durable car in the world. For its original price tag of $500, it was a remarkably sophisticated and racy automobile. It came equipped with an electric starter, electric windshield wipers and a virtually foolproof heater. It also reversed the Ford policy of "the choice of any color as long as it was black." It came in colors whose names would make today's automotive palette seem pale indeed-Moleskin Brown, Andalusite Blue, Cigarette Cream, Mulberry Maroon...
...hulls. But there was Musson putt-putting along at a mere 160 m.p.h., keeping everything together and racking up points. Going into the fourth and final heat, Miss Bar-dahl was tied with Miss Notre Dame for first place, each with two wins and one second. Bang went the starter's gun and off shot Notre Dame ahead of Miss Bardahl. Musson appeared beaten. But a fuel line burst in third-place Miss Exide's engine compartment. The flames forced Driver Bill Brow to dive into the lake, and that automatically halted the race. The finals would have...
...When the starter's flag whished down last week, Clark roared off in his dark green Lotus, leaving the other 18 cars in exhaust fumes. Driving with superb skill, he powerslid through some curves, on others clipped the inside edge of the track, raising small puffs of dust.

He set a new lap record on the first go-around (98.7 m.p.h.), then successively improved it on the next two laps (100.4 m.p.h.), broke it again on the tenth (101.1 m.p.h.). Sensing...
...connoisseur, the hostel is a sad comedown from Europe's gilded past, when internationally celebrated bordellos lined their ballrooms with erotic murals and antique chairs, offered their patrons bare-breasted dancing partners as a starter. But wherever they have sprung up, the hostels have done a land-office business. The Düssel-dorf establishment alone handles nearly 8,000 customers a day-at $3.75 apiece -and in Stuttgart, the monthly take...
...nothing new for the Red Sox, of course and what can you except with a pitching staff consisting of Earl Wilson. Bill Majorette, Dave Morehead, and Jim Lonborg. For the past two years at least, the Sox have had the best relief pitcher in baseball. If a Red Sox starter got knicked for a scratch single in the third inning. Fenway Park would be filled with a chorus of "We want Radatz." This year the "Monster" has looked remarkable mortal; his mediocre showing has made the 1965 season more painful than most...
