...lands at a price that will remain fixed during Carter's presidency so that he does not profit while in office from any decisions he may make. The trustee will also sell or lease the warehouse, probably to Brother Billy. In addition, Carter has sold all stock, worth about...
Most novel of all is our changed attitude toward change. Now nations seem to be distinguished not by their heritage or their stock of monuments (what was once called their civilization), but by their pace of change.

His earlier dreams of flashing under the wire first in the Indianapolis 500 have now become the wearying nightmares of a perpetual loser. He has come home to Mansfield, Ohio, to recoup his losses, possibly by never racing again, but at least by making peace...
