...mayorality of Saigon is one of the toughest jobs in South Viet Nam. The capital's population has swollen past 2,000,000, straining every public facility from electricity to garbage disposal to the breaking point.

Today, as administrator of the three-month-old National Traffic Safety Agency, Haddon still remains considerate of his patients. Last week, amid the chrome of the annual Detroit Auto Show, the industry's brass gathered to hear what Haddon's agency had in mind. To their vast relief, they discovered that they could live pretty well with Haddon's opening list of mandatory safety regulations...
