THESE DAYS

I HAVE often wondered why
Il in a country like ours we
should have any cars at all.
1t is really term of oppro-
brium.
The car of all the Russians
was a despot, who ruled by vir-
tue of birth.
A dictator. of course, comes
up the hard way.
He lies and bluffs and swim
dies; he arrests and purges and
murders.
He might have started as a
blacksmith, a bank robber or
a house painter: once he has
achieved the pinnacle of power,
he holds other mems lives
lightly-even the lives of entire
= nations.
Our cars are highly paid
maintainers of purity.
They exist TO assure virtue in
other men.
They are chosen because II
is assumed that they are virtu-
Gus,
They establish confidence in
the enterprises over which they
are cars.
THERE are a number of cars
about; there used TO be
more of them than there. are
now.
Government regulation has
more or less killed the industry
unless we include every little
bureaucrat who waltzes in on
the good citizens with the leg
end: when you talk to me,
you talk to the government of
the United States"
II so. then there are a million
or so of the breed.
However, a new car is TO be
elected-a real one-to succeed
