...already acknowledged to be dead by most Germans, and the impact of a formal announcement should not be as damaging as it might have been in December of 1965, during Erhard's last visit. The ominous threat of nuclear proliferation, moreover, requires that this country make every effort to remove the remaining obstacles to a treaty with the Soviets.

Even beyond these, most new cars feature safety items that are either standard or optional. >General Motors cars have plastic caps over window-crank handles to soften the gouging action of metal under impact. Pontiac is introducing windshield wipers that, when not in use, retract into the engine cowl to allow the driver unobstructed vision. Many G.M. cars have a dashboard light that, when the brakes fail, winks like a slot machine. >Ford has made standard a "seatbelt reminder light" that flashes on when the engine...
