Déjà vu all over again

MANIFESTO

Needless to say, if one lives long enough, he'll see the same fashions over and over again.

Oh, that that weren't the case with carmakers' cavalier attitudes toward automobile safety.

Fifty years ago, Ralph Nader first made a name for himself by investigating the horrid drivability of Chevrolet's Corvair. And, these days, we find that
US lawmakers will examine whether [Toyota] put financial considerations ahead of driver safety at two Congressional hearings this week, including one tomorrow at which Toyota's president, Akio Toyoda, is scheduled to testify.
So it goes.
