Last summer the FPC decided to en courage exploration for more gas by boosting the national price of 51? per 1,000 cu. ft. for the fuel. At the same time, the agency had to avoid giving the industry windfall profits on gas from long-producing wells. So the commissioners devised a complicated system of pricing gas, depending on when the fuel was committed to the interstate market...
...rear wall to the stage apron, 69 ft. 8 in. between the narrow side balconies). Similarly, the main floor and stage are constructed of wood (darkly stained oak) over an air space, so that they will act as sounding boards. The hall is snugger than before (650,000 cu. ft., v. 850,000), and since any pianissimo needs silence, each air-conditioning duct is lined, and the tightly sealed doors weigh 370 Ibs. each. Every piece of plaster and wood is the solidest money...
Exotic Chemistry. But the devices that got the most attention were those in Viking 2's biology laboratory, the small (1 cu. ft.) package designed to detect life on Mars. This week the lander is to stretch out its robot arm, scoop up a sample of Martian soil and dump it into the minilab, which will repeat the three life-seeking experiments already performed by Viking 1. If the scoop works and all goes according to schedule, the results of these experiments could be in early next week...
...back solidly in the black, thanks largely to the success of the intermediate Cordoba and the compacts-Plymouth Volare and Dodge Aspen-Chrysler is tinkering with the three only a little. Volare, for example, gets a "super six" engine that is 20% more fuel efficient than its old 318-cu...
...found a new canyon; at 30 separate places the Big Thompson had jumped its banks to change course. Hydrologists were equally stunned by the sheer force the flood had generated. Once in 100 years, they had figured, the Big Thompson might be hit by a flood sending 19,000 cu. ft. of water a second through a section called The Narrows at a depth of 12 ft. But the storm that destroyed a vacationland sent 40,000 cu. ft. per sec. through the gap at an incredible depth of 30 ft.-some 320,000 gal. per sec. In the hamlet...
