...million members showed that the number driving their cars on at least five out-of-town trips declined 20% between 1968 and 1970. The recession has also influenced U.S. drinking, which is involved in half of all traffic fatalities. A recent Michigan study showed that auto deaths and tavern liquor sales both declined in 1970. At the same time the sale of package liquor goods-which are usually consumed at home-rose.

...could not communicate with his attorney to help prepare a defense. The attorney, Lowell Myers, is himself deaf and specializes in representing deaf-mutes. Myers contends that Lang and the woman, who was neither deaf nor mute, were attacked while walking to her house from a nearby tavern. After the murder, the lawyer notes, Lang "went into a bar and tried to get some help. Nobody paid any attention." That does not seem to be the act of a guilty man, says Myers, but "Lang can't tell me what happened...
