...hydrocarbons. Measuring the emissions with infra-red light, engineers found that carbon monoxide in the exhaust fell from 28 grams per mile with gasoline to 2 with natural gas; nitrous oxides dropped from 4 grams to .5. Already the company has started converting 1,100 other vehicles in its fleet to natural gas. Last month the Federal Government began testing the Pacific Lighting system for possible use on its own 51,000 vehicles...
...public life. Class considerations aside, many in Britain simply feel that Profumo has earned the right to be let alone. Some also raised a broader question of the citizen's right to privacy, a right not guaranteed under British law. As politicians talked about such a statute, freewheeling Fleet Street winced.

But much of O.J.'s luster...
...supposed to "echo" the wasp-waisted shape of the bottle. Coke signs and emblems, however, will now be square or at least rectangular; the old circles, diamonds and fish shapes will be banished from the company's advertising. Drivers of the 25,000 Coca-Cola trucks, a fleet that Coke officials claim is second in size only to that run by the U.S. Post Office, will be decked out in charcoal and beige uniforms that suggest a football referee improbably wearing a baseball batting helmet. They will carry bright red Coke order books...
...risks of flying in the nation's increasingly crowded skies. Last year the U.S. had 38 aerial collisions, a 46% rise over 1967. In the years ahead, the risks will increase, as more planes-including jumbo jets and SSTs (see BUSINESS)-join the rapidly growing U.S. air fleet...
