...appears, from the model, to resemble a butterfly with long feelers or a tulip bending its petals to earth. "Not at all," retorted the 74-year-old artist. "It's more like a flamingo." Even so, Calder has had to redesign part of the 10-ton carbon-steel structure. "This is supposed to be a stabile," he explained, "but with Chicago's wind, we have to be careful it doesn't become a mobile...
Center of the debate is a complex device called a catalytic converter, an afterburner that cleanses exhaust of nearly all carbon monoxides and hydrocarbons. Auto engineers who banked nearly all their antipollution hopes on that device now claim that by 1975 it will still have major defects−including a marked tendency to conk out long before it has endured the legally required 50,000 miles of service. Furthermore, the engineers contend, auto companies have never before introduced such a complicated and bug-prone piece of equipment on every new car in a single year. Any attempt to force them...
...California will indeed necessitate a catalyst on every new 1975-model car sold in that state, but the requirements will be stiffened from present levels in the rest of the country too. By 1975, autos outside California may emit only 1.5 grams of hydrocarbons and 15 grams of carbon monoxide for each mile traveled. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that, compared with current pollution levels, these standards will take California two-thirds of the way, and the rest of the country halfway, toward meeting the requirements originally laid down for 1975. Henry Ford II asserts that the requirements still...
After waiting for the other two networks to reveal their lineups, ABC announced a carbon-copy schedule. Six shows were dropped, including the ever-boring Julie Andrews Hour, a visual Sominex that seemed to put most viewers to sleep. (Julie will, however, come back for six hours of specials.) A couple of with-it comedies were added: Mr. and Ms., a story about two married lawyers with a Women's Lib touch, and Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, a sanitized TV version of the racy 1969 movie. Thursday night will be given over entirely to fast action, with Kung...
Congress at present holds something of a whip hand in the debate because Nixon's statutory authority to regulate prices and wages expires at the end of the month. The White House is seeking a one-year carbon-copy extension of the Economic Stabilization Act, which gave the President blanket permission "to issue such orders and regulations as he may deem appropriate to stabilize" pay and prices. Should Congress simply renew that power, Nixon could obviously proceed with Phase III pretty much as he pleases. But more and more members of the congressional Democratic majority are determined to sprinkle...
