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.

Q : Won ’t I be trapped  in the  vehicle  afer an accident if I’m wearing a  safety 
A: You could be -- whether  you’re wearing a  safety  belt  or not.  But  you

can easily  unbuckle a  safety belt, even  if you’re  upside  down. And 
your  chance  of being  conscious  during and  after  an  accident, 
so you 
can unbuckle and get out, is much  greater if you are belted. 
Q: why  don’t  they  just  put in air  bags so people  won’t have to wear  safety 
belts?

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, 
Inc.)  If your  Delco@  system can get  C-QUAM@,  your 
“ST” light will 
come  on when  you’re  receiving  it. 
*Dolby@  is a registered  trademark  of Dolby  Laboratories. 
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 
don’t have  to 
do anything in your radio  because AMAX@  is automatic.
