...traffic-safety measures have been put on the back burner. In spite of an increasing number of cars and drivers, governments here don't put a high priority on establishing safer traffic systems. Red tape has further slowed any progress. Some steps that should be taken are developing better postcrash medical treatment, creating safety awareness among drivers and stringently enforcing safety rules.

...mishaps in its diversified pursuits. The chief money drain has been its Shearson Lehman Bros. investment arm, which suffered mightily from its $962 million takeover of ailing and scandal-ridden E.F. Hutton in 1988.

Iowa bar officials arrived at the scene of the Sioux City crash nearly as fast as the doctors did. They were determined to head off a well-known postcrash problem: unscrupulous lawyers soliciting clients on the scene in violation of ethics codes. Representatives of the state bar set up an office at the health center where many of the survivors had been taken for treatment. Bar officials also placed an ad in the Sioux City Journal asking people to call if they knew of any unethical contacts by attorneys. None were reported...
