At issue: regulation of the amount of noise in U.S. factories, a billion-dollar problem that another AFL-CIO official terms "the most ubiquitous hazard in the workplace...
...stuff?" Glikes says that Kearns has launched a "vicious whispering campaign," a "desperate and dispicable attempt to justify something that cannot be justified."

Likening the speed curb to Prohibition, "which made criminals of us all," the ebullient Yates, who pooh-poohs the energy crisis, reasons that speed limits are "at best hypocritical, at the worst specious." In the spirit of Erwin George ("Cannonball") Baker, a fabled driver...
