Double Deaths. After arresting the Green Berets, the Army, both in Washington and Viet Nam, was being closemouthed. Attorneys for the defense, most notably George Winfred Gregory, 31, from Cheraw, S.C., were speaking loud and clear.

Those venerable vehicles of the early 1900s, the Baker and Detroit Electrics of pre-World War I days required many hours of battery recharging for every hour on the road. To this day, the "refueling" problem is one of the major obstacles holding up production of a commercially competitive electric...
