- In his message Re: NEWS: True costs of Com..., Mr. Stead cites Pittsburg
- as an example of a smoggy city. I assume Mr. Stead is refering to
- Pittsburgh, PA. If this is correct, I would take exception to your
- characterization of what Rand McNally has called the country's "Most
- Livable City". Your description of my town WAS accurate many years ago.
- But, during the 1950's and 1960's, Pittsburgh cleaned up it's air and
- water and polished up the skyline in what was called Renaissance I. This
- was complimented by Renaissance II in the 1980's( a furthuring of these
- efforts). Today, Pittsburgh has amoung the cleanest air and water of any
- american city.
