Does this description fit some future vehicle that is still beyond man's technological grasp? It does not. Last week twelve shiny versions of this ideal car were lined up for public inspection at the first International Electric Vehicle Symposium in Phoenix, Ariz. Some of the models were familiar Volkswagens and Renaults, converted to run on battery power. Others were brand new and strange-looking. General Electric unveiled its squat, three-door "Delta," which looks like a stylized descendant of the Jeep. Not to be outdone, Westinghouse showed off a sleek "Lotus Europa" sports car.

Twice Dylan turned in manuscripts and twice was so dissatisfied after reading proofs that he refused to allow the work to be printed. Finally, he took his research and a typewriter along on a European tour. "I was going to rewrite it all," he explains. "But still, it wasn't any book; it was just to satisfy the publishers who wanted to print something that we had a contract for. Follow me?

Imperious Ways. Most A.C.C.C. members still profess a fundamentalism that might best be characterized as responsible extremism. But many who agree with Mclntire theologically have become increasingly edgy about his political pronouncements, especially his support of civil rights opponents like Georgia Governor Lester Maddox. Nor do Mclntire's internal political methods endear him to colleagues. A.C.C.C. General Secretary John Millheim notes that his motto seems to be "Let us reason together and do it my way." As for the I.C.C.C., Mclntire's political attitudes and imperious ways have proved so embarrassing to missions that an estimated...
