Essential though it is, the automobile has one major fault: wherever it is used in large numbers, its internal-combustion engine contributes mightily to air pollution problems. As a result, automakers have already been sued on various grounds for degrading the environment. Moreover, they will have to move with unaccustomed speed to meet the minimum requirements of tough federal laws that go into effect in 1971.

...that it has created a severe risk of recession. Though neither embraces Friedman's whole concept, they maintain that the board should pay less attention to fluctuations in the money market and more to fundamental trends. They also have been arguing since last August that unless the money managers act promptly, they will eventually have to release so much money to prop a slumping economy that inflation will begin again...
