I often need to view log files which contain embedded control
characters, and these buffers always contain a great number of ^M
characters, which I find distracting.
Can I get emacs to suppress the display of these characters?

Yes, I don't know if this is the correct way, but it seems to work for
me:
(standard-display-ascii ?\015 "")
and to turn it on again:
(standard-display-ascii ?\015 "^M") ;; Or whatever characters
;; you want to be seen
One time when I tried the first expression above and navigated to a
point ín the buffer where there were a ASCII 13 character, emacs
freezed, and I mean a major freeze. So test this a couple of times
before you try it in a critical situation with lot of unsaved buffers.
