...automakers will pass on the added cost-about $22 for both front and back seats-to the consumer. For the future, their engineers are developing a number of new safety features. As an experiment, Ford has installed on some of its 1965 models shatter proof windshields capable of withstanding objects traveling up to 24 m.p.h., v. 13 m.p.h. for standard auto glass. G.M. now installs on request a device that automatically limits speed to a desired level. The auto companies are also working on passenger harnesses, padded dashboards and a steering wheel that collapses upon the impact of collision. Sears...
...dark goggles are the best safeguards against snow blindness for the skier planning any length of time in the sun. Darker or neutral gray lenses with a light transmission averaging 20 per cent will screen the potentially-harmful untraviolet rays. For safety sake, these lenses should be of shatter-resistant safety glass or plastic. Tinted eyewear of ordinary glass offer an additional hazard to the eyes of a skier who falls or grazes a tree limb on a downhill...

...things a man can do in the gentle name of sport. He can wrestle 750 lb. steers, shatter concrete blocks with his hand, dangle from 20,000-ft. mountains on strands of rope. And when he gets bored with such jejune pursuits, he can take up racing airplanes around 50-ft. pylons stuck in the ground - a sport so suicidal that the U.S. Government outlawed it 15 years ago. But you can't keep a madman down. Last week, with the reluctant blessing of the Federal Aviation Agency, 100 daredevils converged on a patch of desert outside Reno...
...after dark, when traffic diminishes, that Tokyo really begins to build. Bulldozers and steamrollers emerge like nocturnal predators; the smell of hot tar and the chatter of jackhammers shatter the night. In Shinjuku, Tokyo's Greenwich Village, and along the Ginza, an army of orangehelmeted workmen swarms out to remove temporary planks covering the streets, while trailer trucks roar up to dump fuming loads of fill into yawning caverns. Thousands of lights sway in the evening breeze, sending crooked shadows under the neon. At dawn, the trucks and workers disappear like cockroaches. Then the city's kamikaze...
