...Though FDA will wait at least 15 days for replies from the makers before enforcing the prohibitions, the announcement served as a warning to the presently booming $2.3 billion-a-year toy industry. With five shopping weeks remaining until Christmas, sales are up as much as 12%-despite the general economic slump. Nevertheless, Government intervention, though limited, may well cause many buyers to be more cautious. For toys that are finally banned by the FDA, the penalty can be retroactive: a provision of the act requires retailers to refund the purchase price of a condemned toy; the store owner...
...good toys," said an executive of Ohio Art Co., maker of the cap gun cited by FDA. "We're not manufacturing anything with the intention of hurting a child. We are concerned with safety." Actually, the industry has little to fear in the way of a general crackdown; the Government has moved with a caution bordering on lethargy. Since the safety statute was passed eleven months ago, FDA and its parent, the Department of Health.

But he also presents it as a paradigm of police inefficiency. It may take 20 men to install one tap, often by breaking and entering the suspect's home, plus as many as six more men to monitor the tap, often for months and months in which they could be gathering solid evidence instead of recording mostly innocent chatter. Clark's Justice Department shunned bugging-but in 1968 somehow managed to indict 1,166 figures from organized...
Hartwick's field in general slowed down all of Harvard's reactions. Unlike the Crimson field, Hartwick's was covered completely with mud straw and hay. An early morning rain had made conditions even worse. "The field is in great condition," a Hartwick fan said to a Harvard rooter after one of the Crimson's forwards had fallen...
