Andretti snaked around the 3.2-mile course at an average speed of 109 m.p.h., fought his way past tenacious Mark Donohue in a Formula A Lola-Chevrolet and then closed on the leader, Scotland's Jackie Stewart.

One of the pornography commission's best arguments for repealing many existing laws was that they have not worked. The trouble begins with definitions.
