Math Book Muse. A slight, trim, brunette bachelor girl, Bridget Riley is now a Jill-of-all-trades in the London office of the advertising empire of J. Walter Thompson. She spent her youth during the blitz in Cornwall and Lincolnshire, which she calls "a fascinating horizontal landscape, terrifically recessional."

When it produced a trim clay model of a little two-seater that looked like a rocket, Iacocca invited Grand Prix Driver Dan Gurney and other racing buffs in to give their opinions. Recalls Iacocca: "All the buffs said, 'What a car! It'll be the greatest car ever built.' But when I looked...
