...seize 7% of the U.S. market. Then, after the domestic firms started producing radials, they were hurt by their very durability. Radials, which now account for about half of all tires sold in the U.S., can be driven for 50,000 miles, or about twice as long as conventional bias-ply tires. While they cost more than bias-plys, radials do not need to be replaced as often...
...hostages in Iran." Cronkite's gesture is well meant, but network anchormen don't usually, and shouldn't, inject patriotic reminders into news coverage.

Their most frequent complaints: political bias, lack of patriotism and failure to provide students with firm moral guidance. The nine-room house the Gablers built in 1965 in Longview, Texas, is crammed with shelves of textbooks and copies of line-by-line listings of their objections and those lodged by other volunteers. They have become a clearinghouse ("The nation's largest," says Mel) for critiques written by almost anyone of textbooks, dictionaries and library books. They mail copies on request and receive contributions in return that total some $60,000 per year...
