...Rumsfeld plainly wanted to do more - he was hamstrung right from the get-go. So you look at Bush and Cheney, in terms of setting the administration's agenda, and you figure they decided they had bigger fish to fry, starting with...
Engineers were concerned from the get-go about the Explorer's stability during emergency handling procedures. After a test-track trial in April 1989--one year before the Explorer reached showrooms billed as a rugged and reliable family vehicle--a report noted that the SUV prototype "demonstrated a rollover response ... with a number of tire, tire-pressure [and] suspension configurations."
