...that would have required industries to post a list of chemicals their workers are exposed to on the job, made drug firms spell out the possible risks of each medicine they sell, and now plans to cancel a regulation that would compel hotdog makers to note if their products contain ground bone. The Car Book, a popular 68-page pamphlet that lists the safety features and maintenance costs of 81 U.S. and foreign automobiles, is not being reprinted even though it is one of the most successful publications ever offered by the Government (1.5 million copies distributed in one year...
