...dump Grant and manager Joe Frazier; Dick Young in the News said Grant should get rid of Tom Seaver, Jon Matlack, Dave Kingman and the rest of the "crybabies." Venerable Red Smith of the Times thought this indictment of Seaver, a three-time Cy Young award winner, a bit harsh; Young responded by referring to Smith as a sportswriter past his prime...

If consumers were given an equal chance to be heard, it seems reasonable to assume that business' cozy relationship with these agencies would be shaken up a bit. Even if the viewpoint that the agency expresses is not a precise or coherent one, it will at least force other agencies to consider the effects that their regulations have on the buying public. The Agency for Consumer Protection would function not as just another regulatory agency...
