...efforts that have failed most conspicuously in the past. Half the states and many cities now have some kind of air-pollution legislation; about 15 more states are expected to act this year. Some of the states that have such statutes, however, have failed to adopt realistic regulations to implement them. In some cases, regulatory commissions are heavily weighted with representatives of industry. Four of the nine members of the New Jersey commission, for instance, represent companies identified by the U.S. Public Health Service as significant contributors to pollution...
...which account for 90% of Britain's steel output, will be merged into one huge state-owned Na tional Steel Corp. Smaller companies will be left in private hands. The cost to the government will be enormous: $1.5 billion to buy out the shareholders, plus millions more to implement ambitious reorganization plans.

No one could dispute the fact that many of the plants are overstaffed, turn out shod dy, overpriced...

That approach failed to win Blessing's blessing. Fearful that an easing of monetary restraints alone would lead to increased inflation, Blessing insisted that West Germany's federal, state and municipal governments curb their often lavish spending. Otherwise, he said, the country will wind up with "the same stop-and-go policy that has worked...
