Actually, due to computer enhancement and thanks to some pretty accurate measurements at the scene, we know that Dean's Little Bastard was going about 2 miles BELOW the speed limit, while the other car was going nearly ten above. Just an interjection. Thor It was said: > > > How about James Dean? > > > > Car too fast, around corner, dead rebel. > > OK, I concede that, but : One tiny point I feel compelled to raise is that the stretch of road on which he was killed was about as straight a road as possible. A man who was probably blinded by the setting sun and didn't see a speeding silver car in the glare of the setting sun made a left turn directly in the path of Dean's (probably speeding) Porsche, so while Dean may have been speeding, he wasn't taking turns on the proverbial two wheels. All the conjecture in the paragraph above is because there are not many actual facts known; people involved are either dead or more silent than Salinger friends, and police at the time were less able than they are now to perform accurate crash-site analyses to piece together facts about the speed and impact. Suffice it to say that when an aluminum racing-model Porsche strikes an old Ford station wagon nearly head-on, splendid German engineering is for once defeated roundly. 8-) Obligatory Salinger reference: He doesn't drive a Porsche. --tim ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
