Ford and Firestone Tires
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing the issue of Firestone tires and their ability
to make Ford Explorers roll over following a blowout. In 4 hot-weather US states and in 4 other
hot-weather nations, Ford Explorers have been rolling in ways designers never intended.
Firestone has recalled 6.5 million tires and Ford is authorizing replacement of any tires consumers
want replaced, but none of these measures will satisfy the families of those who have lost their
lives. The two companies have been partners for more than a century, but each has been reduced
to pointing fingers at the other. IT systems likely will provide the truth, in that specific tires can
be tied to specific vehicles and Ford has required suppliers to maintain such information for nearly
two decades. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

This paper shows that computer games are back in the Middle Ages when it comes to the female characters depicted in computer games. Bibliography lists 14 sources.
