And it is in these few words that the story of this journal's startling lack of intellectual nuance begins...
...more remarkable developments in sensor technology is the Automotive Stability Management System under development by ITT and already proved on frozen test tracks in Sweden and on the upper peninsula of Michigan.

"With this system," says ITT's Tom Mathues, "you can floor the throttle and still get around a cone obstacle...
