Crash Program. The main source of Detroit's troubles is the internal combustion engine. Although safe, reliable and easily maintained, it spews out at least three noxious gases. The Clean Air Act, which is mostly concerned with public health, specifies that the emissions of two-carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons-be cut 90% of 1970-model levels in 1975-model cars, and orders the same decrease in nitrogen oxides in 1976 models. Moreover, the automakers must guarantee the emission controls for 50,000 miles...
...requirements. Given too short a lead time-to retool assembly lines normally takes about two years-the best antipollution device the engineers could come up with was the catalytic converter. Shaped like a standard muffler and attached to the exhaust system, the converter would completely burn hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide,* turning them into harmless water vapor and gas. Estimated cost to the consumer: at least...
Sooner or later it would be necessary to define those categories of newsmen who qualified for the privilege, a questionable procedure in light of the traditional doctrine that the liberty of the press is the right of the lonely pamphleteer who uses carbon paper and a mimeograph just as much as of the large metropolitan publisher who utilizes the latest photocompositional methods. Freedom of the press is a fundamental personal right which is not confined to papers and periodicals. It necessarily embraces pamphlets and leaflets... The press in its historic connotation comprehends every sort of publication which affords a vehicle...
...Quakers, after making a spectacular climb to the top rung on the Eastern swimming ladder in 1971, have undergone a swift and puzzling collapse during the last two seasons. The senior-dominated team, virtually a carbon-copy of the Eastern champion Penn squad, has dropped lopsided decisions to Princeton, Yale, and Dartmouth but has the swimmers to challenge the Crimson...
...this act, in the name of public health, Congress has set strict federal limits on key air pollutants across the nation. During a period that started last week and will continue until a Feb. 15 deadline, every state must report how it plans to obey the federal standards for carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and photochemical oxidants-all of which come mainly from cars. Detroit is already working to cut these emissions sharply, but even if the automakers develop highly effective antipollution devices by 1975, there will still be so many old cars on the road that the problem will last until...
