Bills to raise or circumvent the speed limit are under consideration in more than a score of state legislatures, particularly in the West, where ornery "sagebrush rebellion" sentiment fuels anger at all kinds of federal impositions. In some states, highway patrolmen are looking the other way as speeders pass. In others, such as Texas and California, fast drivers greatly outnumber police available to stop them.

It was "photo graphic" - a single word, damnation enough. But in 1 98 1 taste in such matters has not merely shifted, it has come full circle.
