Flickering Flame. Birth and Death, as the film is titled, this week provided a powerful start for the Public Broadcast Laboratory's second and possibly last season.

Meanwhile, Ford, General Motors and International Harvester are working on turbine-powered trucks that would be feasible on turnpikes. The turbine consumes fuel completely and quietly, producing a low noise level and nontoxic exhaust. But since its high fuel consumption makes the turbine-truck economical only at full throttle, the rigs would have to drop the trailers at terminals just off the expressway. From those terminals, conventional...
