Facing the Music on Auto Emissions

William Clay Ford Jr. muses: “People used to write songs about T-Birds and Corvettes. Now they write regulations” [“Ford Hopes to Quell Emissions Rhetoric,” Aug. 8].

I have a ready answer. When people didn’t know what the makers of T-Birds and Corvettes were up to, they wrote songs about their cars; now that they do, they write regulations.
