...this year's Miss World competition didn't promise to be much more ladylike. When the winner was finally chosen in London's Lyceum Ballroom, green-eyed Miss Malta shrieked: "The judges must be blind!" Not at all, though they did show a certain lack of foresight in picking Miss India, Bombay Medical Student Reita Faria, 23. The new Miss World isn't especially interested in the title. Collecting her $7,000 prize money, she waved away the usual lucrative year of personal-appearance and film offers, prepared to rush home instead to finish her studies...
...started the year at an all-time popularity low that gave him scant hope of winning a third term. Throughout a hard, costly campaign, he has narrowed the gap and, toward campaign's end, was hammering at Democrat Frank O'Connor's "demagogy," lack of courage, foresight and "size.'"

...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 foresight or was actually negligent in causing the defect. The plaintiff need only show that the product was faulty and that the injury occurred. In short, consumers are now entitled to assume that more and more products will work safely, as advertised, when normally used...
