...settlements they made over the past few years. The Teamsters have already demanded a reopening of their contract because of the 55-m.p.h. highway speed limit initiated by the Administration to save fuel. Over-the-road drivers are paid on the basis of how many miles they travel in a ten-hour period, and they contend that the speed limit is costing them up to 20% of their earnings.

...three new gas stations, a bevy of postcard stands, a famous drugstore that does more than $1,000,000 worth of business annually and the highest per capita ownership of backyard swimming pools in the state?all because it happens to be handy to the interstate highway that vacationers travel to the Badlands, the Black Hills and Mount Rushmore.

(About 25% both live and work in the city, and 7% reverse-commute from the city to the suburbs.) As many suburbanites know, that pattern has produced traffic snarls, at intersections dozens of miles outside the core city, that rival anything encountered on downtown streets.
