...himself printing news about one of his own daughters. And again the news was bad. While entering the U.S. from Canada, Anne Hearst, 19, younger sister of Fugitive Patty Hearst, was stopped by customs officials in Niagara Falls, N.Y., and her car and its occupants searched. Agents found a plastic bag containing a dozen amphetamine tablets stuffed in the sock of Anne's driving companion, Donald Moffett, 21, and promptly arrested the pair for possession of dangerous drugs. U.S. federal agents rushed to the scene, hoping Anne could provide information about her sister, who police suspect...

National Observer Reporter John Peterson breezily noted in a frontpage piece, complete with a photo of the dynamic carmaker next to her sporty space-age vehicles, that Carmichael and her "talented mavericks" had designed the Dale with a new kind of plastic body that would be safe in crashes at speeds of up to-50 m.p.h. The car would also get 70 miles per gal. of gas and cost less than $2,000. Such claims went well beyond the visions and capacities of Detroit's giants, yet Peterson printed Carmichael...
