...McNamara down. So he pulled on his sturdy wool knickers, taped his ankle, kissed his wife Margaret goodbye, and set out from the 10,000-ft.-high base camp an hour after midnight. There were eleven in the party, including 16-year-old Son Craig and 22-year-old Daughter Kathleen. By dawn they were on the peak, admiring the panorama of Washington's Cascade Range stretched out below.

Even so, the New York Court of Appeals ruled in 1963 that Mrs. Goldberg could sue Lockheed, though not the altimeter maker, thus conspicuously dispensing with privity. (Ironically, Mrs. Goldberg decided not to sue Lockheed, simply settled out of court with American Airlines for some $10,000.) In the Goldberg case, relaxing the privity requirement also imposed "strict liability" on the manufacturer. Under this principle, the plaintiff is not obliged to show that the manufacturer lacked...
