...Lower speed limits: Truckers claim that their rigs run more efficiently at 65 m.p.h. than at the 55-m.p.h. limit already in effect in many states and slated to become the national standard. On the contrary, a General Motors computer study indicates that trucks burn 1 5% less fuel going 50 to 55 m.p.h. than when doing 70. The real issue in the cabs is not fuel economy but money in the wallet. Most hired drivers are paid by the mile, not the hour; the 400,000 who pilot their own rigs must try to haul as many loads...
...decorative lights in the Cambridge Common and in Harvard Square will continue to burn from 5 to 9 p.m. every evening until Christmas. Edward VerPlank, president of the Harvard Square Businessmen's Association, said yesterday...
...lights will burn less this year than in previous years, however, when they were on eight hours a night and lit three weeks longer than they will be this year. In addition, the lights this year are new and use half the energy the old ones did, VerPlank said...
...permit to pump water from the Kansas River to their plant five miles away; the Environmental Protection Agency and the Bureau of Mines have questioned KP&L's estimate of the sulfur content of the coal for the plant; and, KP&L's own estimate that the plant will burn 1600 tons of coal per hour, take and never return over one-third of the volume of water in the Kansas River, and dump 60,000 tons of sulfur dioxide into...
Even though it is based on Einstein's general relativity equations, the concept strains belief. If a star is large enough -at least three times as massive as the sun-it will eventually die in a grand cataclysm. As its nuclear fires begin to burn out, the stellar gases, no longer supported by heat and radiation, begin falling toward the star's core. Moving at tremendous velocities, they crush together, forming a sphere only two or three miles across, so dense that each cubic inch of material weighs trillions of tons. The small sphere has a gravitational field...
