This generation--call it mod, pop, turned-on, hip, or any of the other catch phrases of this label-happy era--asserted itself by establishing a new standard of moral behavior. The process obviously involved redefinition: in the '30's, photographer meant Stieglitz, Steichen, Dorothea Lange; now photographer means cool. But Michaelangelo Antonioni has other ideas...

But, as the negotiations went along, the automakers saw welcome signs that the agency was in no mood to go all the way with the industry's most excessive critics, either. One of Haddon's top engineering consultants, William I. Stieglitz, formerly Republic Aviation's safety-design chief, had argued so bitterly against any compromise that he began to be excluded from the sessions. Stieglitz noisily resigned last week, declaring the standards "totally inadequate...
