Government's Car Book Becomes Bestseller Says AP Writer
The federal government led by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration promotes a 68 page The Car Book that has become an instant hit. Critics claim inaccuracies especially in safety ratings while Boaz defends the guide as showing differences among makes and models. The book uses a head on 35 mph crash standard and pass fail ratings to compare performance. It notes 55 percent of deaths and serious injuries occur in frontal crashes and is available free from the Consumer Information Center Pueblo Colorado. The second printing totals 1.5 million copies with earlier errata corrected.

Disturbing Nursing Home Conditions Highlighted in 1980 Hearing
Transcripts from the Hillhaven-Topska Administrative Hearing describe nine students and nine patients exposed to urine and feces with no mattress protection, leaving waste between bodies and on hair and toes. The report notes such conditions were not outside reasonable normalcy for skilled nursing care. The 1980 certification decision was urged to be issued without prejudice.
