Charles H. Perkins '73 and Mitchell P. Ash, a graduate student in History, were elected last week to three-year terms by the lobby group's 12,000 Massachusetts members...
Only half a year ago, Roy Ash, president of California's Litton Industries, sounded like a man who had seen light at the end of a tunnel. Profits of the troubled conglomerate in 1972, he confidently predicted, would increase substantially over their lackluster showing of $50 million in 1971, and one reason for the gain would be Litton's $ 130 million shipyard in Pascagoula, Miss. Ash calls the ultramodern facility, opened about two years ago, "a national asset that will make U.S. shipbuilding competitive in world markets...

Fighting Canines. Elaine Morgan's scientific credentials do not quite measure up to those of, say, Charles Darwin.

Two men in particular inspired her. The first was Amateur Ethologist Robert Ardrey, the failed but imaginative playwright whose views she now rejects. The second was Oxford Zoologist Sir Alister Hardy, an authority on plankton who thought up a nonsexist version of aquatic evolution about a dozen years...
Storecard. Even at the present level, however, electric-power plants are a major source of air pollution: 50% of the sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere, 20% of the nitrogen oxides, 20% of the soot and ash. Can technology reduce this pollution? Yes, according to a new study by the Manhattan-based Council on Economic Priorities, a nonprofit organization that reports to concerned investors (churches, universities, foundations) on subjects involving corporate responsibility. But many utilities have been slow to install proven and existing equipment, the study says, or to develop alternative power sources...
