...ironic that the people who abhor Big Government want to pillory Susan Bailey, the new head of the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration [BUSINESS, Sept. 18], for not protecting them from the Firestone-Ford fiasco?

Bush: "Obviously we wouldn't ask the Russians if they didn't agree with our answer, Mr. Vice President," Gore: "But they don't." Was it Gerald Ford's liberation of Poland? Hardly.
