...mile journey: the 270-mile trip from Wainwright on the western flanks of northern Alaska to Prudhoe Bay. Here the tugs putter along at four to five knots, creeping above shoals that, in places, lie only 5 ft. beneath hulls still weighted down with 100,000 gal. of diesel fuel. Kardonsky, 56, looks up from his charts with a shy grin: "Sometimes it's so shallow your ulcers start chewing each other...
Targeted for production some time between 1986 and 1990, the People's Car of tomorrow will combine a revolutionary diesel engine with other fuel-saving technologies that designers hope will get 75 or more m.p.g. in combined city and highway driving. A test model will be unveiled at the Frankfurt Auto Show in September. At present, U.S. law requires automakers to have a fleet average fuel economy of only 22 m.p.g., which will rise to 27.5 m.p.g. by 1985. The VW Rabbit diesel, with 42 m.p.g. city and 56 m.p.g. highway, is the most fuel-efficient car in production...
...plant was designed to produce steam, chilled water, and electricity for the Harvard Medical Area. Objections to the facility's emission of nitrous dioxide and other pollutants have delayed since 1975 the installation of diesel generators needed to make it economically feasible...

...economy depends-is the Strait of Malacca, a channel 30 miles wide at its narrowest point, between the Malay Peninsula and the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Here too Soviet naval activity has been on the rise, in both obvious and not-so-obvious ways. Soviet destroyers, cruisers and diesel-powered, torpedo-firing Foxtrot submarines have been passing through the strait at the rate of about six a month, while nuclear-powered Echo-class subs, armed with antiship cruise missiles, prowl the South China Sea. Malacca is so shallow that subs must go through with at least their conning towers awash...
