...Detroit law practice. A.M.C.'s crusty Roy Abernethy remained as president and chief executive, but Evans quickly made it obvious that he intends to be the new giver of gospel. While Abernethy scowled at a press conference and puffed a six-inch cigar down to the stub, Evans committed the automaking heresy of knocking the styling of his company's cars.

Hughes's experimental XV-9A shoots hot gases out of rotor-tip vents...

A wild and woolly cowboy that little boy became, and many years later, encouraged by Folk Singer John Lomax, the old wrangler rustled up a stub pencil to scribble off the story of "what I have saw." Published locally in 1943 and now nationally for the first time, A Stove-Up Cowboy's Story comes jackknifing off the page with all the red-eyed energy of the life it describes.
