...fiction factory of Bangor, Me., sometimes known as Stephen King, has just produced its first 1987 prototype. This is a small, youth-centered version of earlier vehicles capable of holding the whole family. It corners well and accelerates quickly.

Donahue, meanwhile, acted as defender of the American system without jingoistic excess. When one youth claimed that all U.S. policy is dictated by the "military-industrial complex," Donahue shot back, "You have just as narrow a vision of us, if you hold that view, as you accuse us of having about...
