...working towards. Furthermore, Leon's order may not prove so tough. Stainless steel is not-as yet-on the list of verboten materials. Even if that is taken away, the automakers have plenty of substitutes. Ford has perfected an all-glass tail light; General Motors has some highly lustrous enamels; almost all makers have new decorative plastics. These should keep U.S. cars the flashiest in the world...

Long-nosed, lustrous Professor Adler wrote it in 16 days last summer, a chapter a day. (Each night he went to a movie, taking in 16 movies.) It is not a slight book (371 pages), but it is the first of Adler's writings in which he has spoken expressly to the man in the street. For people who think they know how to read, he has a clarifying question: "What things would you do by yourself if your life depended on understanding something readable which at first perusal left you somewhat in the dark?"
