Whether or not American motorists can ever learn to love them, smaller cars appear to be firmly in their future...
...habits. Called last month to testify before a House subcommittee investigating nuclear safeguards, Srouji disclosed that the FBI had shown her nearly 1,000 pages of bureau documents on the Silkwood case for use in her book.
