Experimental facilities to tap garbage power are being planned from Milwaukee to Miami to Saugus, Mass. In Nashville, Tenn., steam created by burning refuse is used to heat and air condition downtown office buildings. In Denver Adolph Coors Co. will likely soon be firing its brewery's boilers with the city's trash. But all of these efforts are relatively minor compared with the one decided on by St. Louis' Union Electric Co. after a 23-month test with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the city...

Evans is dead serious about Paramount. "Running a major studio is more difficult than running a country," he says without a trace of irony. "A small country...

Self-Sufficient. Coors has been owned by a single family since 1873, when Adolph Coors, a German draft dodger, set up a brewery on the banks of Clear Creek. His grandson, William, has been president since 1970, and the firm contains six other Coorses. As befits a company owned by rugged individualists, the firm is almost totally self-sufficient. Plant expansion is handled by Coors' full-time 1,000-man construction crew. The firm meets its energy requirements by picking combustible material out of its waste products and burning it, and by tapping its own natural gas fields. Coors...
