LEADERSHIP
I
N every field of human endeavor, he that is first must perpetually live
in
the white light of publicity. ?Whether the leadership be vested
in a man
or in a manufactured product, emulation and envy are ever at
work. TIn art, in literature, in music, in industry, the reward and the
punishment are always the same. TThe reward is widespread recog-
nition; the punishment, fierce denial and detraction. TWhen a man’s
work becomes a standard for the whole world, it also becomes a target
for the shafts of the envious few. ?If his work be merely mediocre,
he
will be left severely alone - if he achieve a masterpiece, it will set a million
tongues a-wagging. vealousy does not protrude its forked tongue at
the artist who produces
a commonplace painting. VWhatsoever you
write,
or paint, or play, or sing, or build, no one will strive to surpass, or
to slander you, unless your work be stamped with the seal of genius.
TLong, long after a great work
or a good work has been done, those who
are disappointed
or envious continue to cry out that it can not be done.
?Spiteful little voices in the domain of art were raised against
our own
Whistler
as a mountebank, long after the big world had acclaimed him
its greatest artistic genius. ?Multitudes flocked to Bayreuth to worship
at the musical shrine of Wagner, whiIe
the little group of those whom he
had dethroned and displaced argued angrily that he was no musician at
all. TThe little world continued to protest
that hlton could never
build a steamboat, while the big world flocked to
the river banks to see
his boat steam by. YThe leader is assailed because he is a leader, and
the effort to equal him is merely added proof
of that leadership. qFailing
to equal
or to excel, the follower seeks to depreciate and to destroy - but
only confirms once more
the superiority of that which he strives to
supplant. TThere is nothing new in this. TIt is
as old as the world
and as old as the human passions
- envy, fear, greed, ambition, and the
desire to surpass. TAnd it
all avails nothing. TIf the leader truly
leads, he remains
- the leader. TMasteppoet, masteppainter, master
workman, each in his turn is assailed,.and each holds his laurels through
the ages. TThat which is good
or great makes itself known, no matter
how loud the clamor of denial. TThat which deserves to live-lives.

your chance of being conscious during and after an accident,
so you
can unbuckle and get out, is much greater if you are belted.

vehicles today andwill be in more of them in the future. But they are
supplemental systems only
-- so they work with safety belts, not
instead of them.
Every “air bag” system ever offered for sale has
required the use of safety belts. Even if you’re in a vehicle that has
“
air bags,” you still have to buckle up to get the most protection.
That’s true not only in frontal collisions, but especially in side and
other collisions.
Q: IfI’m a good driver, and I never drive far from home, why should I wear
A: You may be an excellent driver, but if you’re in an accident -- even
one that isn’t your fault
-- you and your passengers can be hurt.
Being a good driver doesn’t protect you from things beyond your
control, such as bad drivers.
Most accidents occur within
25 miles (40 km) of home. And the
greatest number of serious injuries and deaths occur at speeds of less
than
40 mph (65 kmih).

THEFT
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities. Although your
Cadillac has a number
of theft deterrent features, we know that nothing we
put on it can make it impossible to steal. However, there are ways you can
help.
Key in the ignition: If you walk away from your vehicle with the keys
inside, it’s an easy target for joy riders or professional thieves
-- so don’t
do it.
When you park your Cadillac and open the driver’s door, you’ll hear a
chime reminding you to remove your key from the ignition and take it with
you. Always do this. Your steering wheel
will be locked, and so will your
ignition and transmission. And remember to lock the doors.
Parking at Night: Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your
vehicle. Remember to keep your valuables out of sight. Put them in a
storage area, or take them with you.
Parking Lots: If you park
in a lot where someone will be watching your
vehicle, it’s best to lock it
up and take your keys. But what if you have to
leave your ignition key? What if you have to leave something valuable in
your vehicle?
Put your valuables in a storage area, like your trunk or glove box.
Lock the glove box.
Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
0 Then take the door key with you.

The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM, especially at
night. The longer range, however, can cause stations to interfere with
each other. AM can pick up noise from things like storms and power
lines.
Dolby@
This feature automatically removes noise on Dolby encoded tapes (no
button is required).
AM Stereo
This means the Delco@ system can receive C-QUAM@ stereo broadcasts.
Many
AM stations around the country use C-QUAM@ to produce stereo,
though some do not. (C-QUAM@ is a registered trademark of Motorola,

“ST” light will
come on when you’re receiving it.

This means that your sound system can produce quality AM sound
comparable to FM stereo. AMAX@ reduces noise without reducing the
high frequencies you need for the best sound. ,In addition to improved
sound quality,
AMAX@ includes more stations on the AM band. You
