...John, making his first start as Harvard's varsity quarterback against N.U., managed the offense well, completing 50 per cent of his passes for 101 yards including the Horner touchdown...
...Energy Project believes the United States could reduce energy consumption by 30 to 40 per cent through conservation and "still enjoy the same or an even higher standard of living." The key is the encouragement of "productive conservation"; that is, using energy more efficiently. In the transportation sector, the Project, recognizing that the automobile is likely to remain an American fixture, recommends more stringent gasoline mileage standards instead of massive investment in mass transit. The government should grant very high tax credits to industry for mundane improvements like furnace maintenance, lighting adjustments, plugging leaky steam traps, recovering, installing insulation...
...PROJECT CALCULATES the application of available solar technology could provide 7 to 23 per cent of the United States' energy needs by the year 2000. The Project is not referring to massive, multibillion dollar power stations in space which beam electricity back to earth via microwave (a NASA pet project). Rather, it is talking about solar houses and hot water heating, windmills, wood burning and hydraulic power. Modeste A. Maidique, assistant professor at the Business School, writes...

The Project believes government incentives--such as the 55 to 60 per cent tax credit that California currently grants homeowners who install solar heating--would overcome this hurdle and permit solar to take a prominent place in the fight against imported...

More often those who cannot learn languages are the same students who had difficulty learning to read and spell in English, even though they could speak it. To try to master reading an unfamiliar language would be impossible for them. Other students have trouble interpreting a language they hear and cannot assimilate the Harvard language courses, which have become more listening-oriented in the past decade...
