His normally ashen face lightly tanned after a long Swiss vacation, he took autocratic command of his Christian Democratic Union's annual conference at Stuttgart and sought to silence all talk of picking his successor or changing his policies...

Ferry Porsche doggedly refuses to expand his sports-car output for fear of hurting the quality, but he is tinkering with prototypes of a jeep-type vehicle called "The Hunter," plans eventual production of 500 to 1,000 a month if there is sufficient demand...
