...factory drinking water (a throwback to a time years ago when ice was cut from polluted rivers). Last week OSHA's director, Assistant Secretary of Labor Morton Corn, said that some of the agency's hoariest regulations soon would be revised and businessmen would get a louder voice in changing them...
