...against some Guardsmen is still possible. But it was clear that some of the jury's key conclusions conflicted in whole or in part with those of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which made an exhaustive investigation of the tragedy, and the President's Commission on Campus Unrest, headed by former Pennsylvania Governor William Scranton. In New Haven, Police Chief James Ahern, a member of the Scranton commission, said flatly that the grand jury's findings concerning the Guardsmen were "inconsistent with the facts."

After a recent assessment of the nation's social unrest, American Motors officials decided that it was no time to be selling a car called Rebel, as it had been doing. The company's marketing men conducted many expensive consumer-research polls and found a new name for A.M.C.'s intermediate model: Matador, which the studies found meant virility and excitement to consumers.

When a house is burglarized or a school vandalized, almost everybody has to pay some part of the bill-through higher insurance rates. Changes in society, including the real or imagined decay of moral standards, have also exacted a toll. Insurance executives used to assume that loss claimants were honest; now the presumption is that many people cheat a bit. Greedy motorists and crooked repairmen conspire to kite...
