...what does society think of the recommended leathers and big bikes that can be seen? Ha! If you can avoid the never-even-saw-'em-CRASH! drivers, the fuzz locks you up as a menace to society.

He has uncomplainingly walked sandalless on his flat feet up Mount Sinai, and for his role of Michelangelo in The Agony and the Ecstasy jammed a plastic noodle into his nose to push it properly out of joint.

But even Connecticut Senator Abraham Ribicoff, the auto industry's toughest critic in Congress, saw the move as a sign of Detroit's growing recognition that "safety entails more than...
