...answer to the question which offered imprisonment and expatriatism as two alternatives to serving in Vietnam, another 29.5% of those polled said they would "exhaust all legal means but serve rather than break the law," and 19% decided they would "serve reluctantly. 11% indicated they would "serve willingly...
...Mark III's most obvious feature is a vertical hashmark grille in shimmering metal that closely resembles the grille of a Rolls-Royce. On its 117-in. wheel base, the car mounts an eight-cylinder, 460-cu.-in. engine specially designed to provide improved combustion and cut exhaust fumes. Other features, including interior warning lights, air conditioners and radios, have been adapted from either the smaller Thunderbird or the bigger Lincoln...

Carbon monoxide has been reduced to less than .7% of the total exhaust from a car equipped with the reactor. Both figures are well within the 1970 standards proposed last week. Nonetheless, said one Du Pont official, the unit is far from commercially feasible...
