...population explosion [May 6] must give pause to any thinking man, especially one who is the father of twelve children. A possible solution: a crash program could find a simple method of changing the average height of man from 5 or 6 ft. to smaller sizes, so that the space-nutriment requirement per person could be diminished as the total population increased. What difference could there be in a 6-ft. man sitting in an electronic control room rather than a 2-ft. man, if we assume that the 2-ft. man could think just as well...

Suddenly, Britain, which had abolished compulsory vaccination in 1948, had to scrap its small annual vaccination budget of $650,000 and stage a $3,800,000 crash campaign.

The customer himself can hardly detect weak door latches or lance-like steering columns whose deadlines might show up only in a crash. But federal inspectors could locate the hidden killers and require manufacturers to eliminate them. Just as significantly, the government could insure continuing progress in automotive safety by demanding that technical innovations such as the collapsible steering column be installed as soon as they are developed. Then foot-dragging on features...
