...about 50,000 cars -Buicks, Oldsmobiles and Cadillacs-equipped with air bags as a $200 optional substitute for seat belts. During a collision, the bags are supposed to prevent serious injury by ejecting and popping open to quickly fill the space between driver and windshield, then instantly deflate. One drawback: if the car continues to bounce or fall, the driver could be injured after the bag loses air. Nonetheless, Ford and Chrysler also plan to offer air bags as options...

Their newest, Bloodshot, is getting nowhere near the recognition it deserves, even though it moves them from an R 'N' B based rut they've been in from the start, and is the near masterpiece that we've been expecting from them. The only drawback is probably that Boston no longer sees as much of this outfit as the city collectively deserves. This is to be their only summer appearance around here. It'd probably be well worth anybody's while to brave the Schaeffer atmosphere to see them. Just get there early, take...
