...variable climate and other distractions of, say, the drive-in theater and dead-end street. Reports the magazine: "Parents and preachers, roused by a badly bungled moral code, banned bundling; better heating in larger homes cooled it. Bundling has been rekindled by a spark from a new moral code." Said the president of the Pottstown bundlers: "In many colleges, boys and girls today are allowed in the dormitories without supervision. Surely our conduct is far above this." Concludes Christianity Today: "Perhaps it is -if bundlers abed by the rules...
...Massachusetts Clergyman Stephen C. Rose, the program proposed, among other things, that the council become more of a lay organization engaged in specific social and religious tasks and that its white denominations turn over mission resources to the black and the poor.

Nader is widely known as a strong critic of the auto industry for, among other things, its pollution of the atmosphere...
...persons each year are injured when they walk through safety glass; yet builders have repeatedly refused to make it stand out better by marking it clearly. Nader has charged over nationwide TV that complex electronic medical equipment causes large numbers of unreported electrocutions in hospitals; doctors have estimated, he said, that anywhere from 1,200 to 12,000 patients per year are electrocuted. Official safety regulations, where they do exist, are often loosely enforced. Last month the Department of Transportation announced that one-quarter of the tires that it has tested this year failed to meet a significant test: standards...
