Pinto memo:

wikipedia posted:

In a 1991 paper, The Myth of the Ford Pinto Case, for the Rutgers Law Review, Gary T. Schwartz said the case against the Pinto was not clear-cut.

According to his study, the number who died in Pinto rear-impact fires was well below the hundreds cited in contemporary news reports and closer to the 27 recorded by a limited National Highway Traffic Safety Administration database. Given the Pinto's production figures (over 2 million built), this was not substantially worse than typical for the time. Schwartz said that the car was no more fire-prone than other cars of the time, that its fatality rates were lower than comparably sized imported automobiles, and that the supposed "smoking gun" document that plaintiffs said demonstrated Ford's callousness in designing the Pinto was actually a document based on National Highway Traffic Safety Administration regulations about the value of a human life — rather than a document containing an assessment of Ford's potential tort liability. The Pinto Memo wasn't used or consulted internally by Ford, but rather was attached to a letter written to NHTSA about proposed regulation. When plaintiffs tried to use the memo in support of punitive damages, the trial judge ruled it inadmissible for that purpose (p. 1021, Schwartz study).

E; Also, police in Sweden ordered a bridge raised in a car chase last night, involving two suspects who committed the terrible crime of stealing gas from a gas station without paying for it. They drove right off the bridge and into the water, and weren't fished out until this morning. Whoops.

Bridge when 'raised':

Today is the cum clave, and behind locked doors, old dudes in great hats are gonna start to decide on the next unfortunate old man to be labeled pope.

Apparently there's no clear favorite this time around, and it's expected that the cardinals will take longer to decide than they did in 2005 when Ratzinger, the favorite of the time, was chosen. This time, the main criteria is supposedly either someone with the ability to clean up after the last few years many scandals, or a charismatic leader that can speak to, and inspire the catholic flock, instead.
