...Apollo spaceship. (U.S. astronauts who will participate in that flight recently completed a two-week stint at Star City, the Soviet cosmonaut training center outside Moscow, where they demonstrated their skills on Soyuz simulators.) Thus NASA wants every possible assurance that Soviet engineers have eliminated all Soyuz design bugs. Indeed, Western observers, noting that the Soviets had said that the main purpose of the latest flight was to test Soyuz systems, speculated that they were trying to assure the U.S. as much as themselves about the spacecraft's capabilities...
...suggest a design for the bicentennial memorial coin? It would be intended to remind us, once we emerge from the energy crisis-a few years from now-not to get ourselves in the same kind of mess again...

The verso of the coin would carry the motto "There Is No Free Lunch," over a design of crossed bicycles rampant upon a field of Franklin stoves...
...Building design is receiving considerable attention. As many as 30% of the buildings constructed in recent years use a "reheat" cooling technology. Under the serpentine logic of this system, air is chilled to the lowest degree needed to cool the warmest part of the building; it is then reheated to cool those parts that are not so warm. But soon much more new construction will employ a "variable-volume" system in which dampers are adjusted by thermostats to vary the amount of air distributed. The dampers simply send warm areas the maximum amount of cool air possible, while lessening...
...they complain that they simply cannot forecast 1974 or 1975 earnings of major companies. About the only stocks they can recommend are those of a handful of firms that stand to benefit from the energy crisis: coal companies, some railroads, makers of mining and drilling gear and firms that design or make equipment for power stations and refineries...
