And the car, like the country his party had led for so long, sputtered to a halt stranded in a desert. The election results gave unequivocal testimony to the effectiveness of the advertisement.

Don Welsh, 25, a dental student at Tufts University, who was seated in the front cabin, suddenly found himself covered with spray and looking out at the harbor.
