(d) MINIMUM TYPE-SIZE AND FONT REQUIREMENT FOR CREDIT CARD APPLICATIONS AND DISCLOSURES.-

All written information, provisions, and terms in or on any application, solicitation, contract, or agreement for any credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan, and all written information included in or on any disclosure required under this chapter with respect to any such account, shall appear-

(1) in not less than 12-point type; and
(2) in any font other than a font which the Board has designated, in regulations under this section, as a font that inhibits readability.

Interesting – I wonder how much extra paper that would waste every year, and how many more trees would be required to make it happen. Is readability really a problem? If one is blind, he/she can probably find help to read the terms (yes, they can). Funny enough, nothing this guy’s ever sponsored or co-sponsored has passed – so he’s zero for 44 as of today.

EAST Anglia’s largest independent retailer has announced it is withdrawing knives from sale in all its outlets with immediate effect.  The East of England Co-operative Society said it will withdraw knives from sale in its 135 supermarkets and food stores and five petrol forecourt shops.  It hopes the decision will reduce the risk of knives “falling into the wrong hands” in the communities its stores serve.
