...bill, in fact, the industry has already begun to put many safety features into its cars as standard equipment. All 1967 models will have steering columns that telescope forward on impact, dual braking systems to stop a car if a single set fails and anchorages for front-seat shoulder harnesses. Other improvements will come along later, based largely on the 26 safety features that manufacturers must build into cars that they sell to the Government. Because it takes Detroit a year or more to alter designs, some changes will not show up until the 1968 models. To demonstrate what...

Dr. Pitlyk found that Hoi Pham...

He was not hit. (The only newsman who was: A.P.'s Robert Heard, shot in the left shoulder.) Meanwhile the story was prompting calls to KTBC from as far away as Canada requesting brief radio reports. With incredible patience, station staffers provided 250 different such "line feeds." It never hindered their own coverage. Police identified the dead Whitman at 1:24; a KTBC reporter had the news...
