If state regulations requiring that old cars be fitted with effective antipollution devices are enforced, Rand's researchers suggest, then Los Angeles-area authorities need only take four relatively painless steps...

Ironically, admissions had engineered a 100 per cent increase in the number of black enrollees when there were very few black undergraduates around to lend...
