Pinto maker indicted on criminal charges in Pinto crash
Ford Motor Co faced three counts of reckless homicide and one count of reckless conduct over a 1973 Pinto crash that killed three Ulrich sisters in Indiana. Prosecutors say Ford knew of fuel tank dangers but did nothing. Ford’s stance: indictment unwarranted and unsupported by Indiana law. Industry figures differ on potential precedent while noting the case could stain Ford and spur safety reforms.

Government lease renegotiation raises waste and costs
Washington reports that the General Services Administration pursued a two year lease renegotiation for a suburban Maryland historic office building despite knowing it would cost taxpayers about 800000 dollars more annually. Sources say utilities and cleaning would run 1.7 million yearly versus owner paid 930000, with risks of inflated government wage scales and earlier cost overruns. A Justice Department task force led by Terrence Adamson coordinates FBI IRS SEC and Postal Service probes into GSA contractor payoffs and inflated work claims.
