...might be more efficient, cities have in effect been offered expressways virtually free. The lure has usually proved irresistible, and as a result cities?not to mention the countryside?have been torn apart. The car has not only wrecked the city physically but poisoned its air as well. Auto exhaust fumes account for about 60% of air pollution in the U.S., even with the addition of exhaust-control devices...
...make good on all these claims would obviously exhaust even the most generous fiscal dividend that Charles Schultze has projected. But the President can still find some money for key social needs. The fact is that the federal budget can stand some slimming. Not as much as Americans sometimes think is wasted-but a good deal is.

In the case of those two companies, Detroit rejected their exhaust-control systems and adopted two of its own. Along with the older blow-by devices, the two newer systems are standard equipment - at a cost to the consumer of up to $50 each - on current Detroit models...
