Injuries and deaths arising from traffic accidents constitute one of the most costly aftermaths of the introduction of technology in modern society. Countermeasures are only now emerging from a pre-scientific stage but promise to reduce the extent of morbidity and mortality, and also greatly to expand basic understanding of human behavior and the management of complex systems...
...working class kids. It was a tough school, football gang type. No pressure to succeed, in fact just the opposite. I could taxi along very comfortably. I even copied some of the work I had to do from some of the other kids. I adapted to that extent. My first semester I had a 93 average.

The mutual admiration did not last. Under Burns, RCA became deeply involved in the computer making business, and in one year took a $100 million loss. Only in 1969 is the company's computer division likely to get into the black...
