...President laughs a bit more, finds the White House confining, wants to travel out into the country with more regularity. He uses the Oval Office more, at ease now below the stern eye of George Washington, who resides above the fireplace. His globe came with him from the small study. He has learned to converse in Spanish, and his tennis game has strengthened...
Former bureau officials believe that Gray may have trapped himself in the alleged conspiracy when he gave his deputy, Felt, sweeping authority to do something about the Weathermen, and then failed to keep a sharp eye on Felt and the zealous Miller. Says one ex-FBI man: "You've got to remember that in those days Gray spent only three days a week in headquarters. He was out on the road, touring FBI offices, making speeches.

...immediate problems, so many large companies are moving into solar power with an eye to the future that Congress is already worried about antitrust problems. Most of the firms are looking for better and less costly ways of collecting the sun's energy and storing it for rainy days or nighttime use, with one ultimate aim of exporting their technology to less developed countries.

Along with Owens-Illinois, G.E. is also working on advanced vacuum-tube rooftop solar collectors...

With superior hand-eye coordination and leaping ability learned in childhood baseball and basketball games, Americans make fine goaltenders, agile and sure-handed around the net. Giorgio Chinaglia, the New York Cosmos high-scoring striker, has an adversary's appreciation of the U.S. talent: "There is a nucleus of goalkeepers that are not good-they're exceptional. They could play in Europe now." And Americans have translated the physical aggressiveness of football into near...
