...Rocks are hard to get in most places, which only adds to their appeal. General Foods markets the candy mainly in California, although there have been other test sales around the country in the past three years. GF tries to confine sales of the candy to its test markets, where a one-fifth-ounce package sells for 20? retail, but entrepreneurs have managed to obtain supplies and spirit them elsewhere, at prices up to 50? a package. Despite the potential demand, GF is moving cautiously before going national. Reason: although the company makes more than 400 food products...
...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. General Electric recently developed a tank that uses common salt to store for long periods heat collected by solar panels. Along with Owens-Illinois, G.E. is also working on advanced vacuum-tube rooftop solar collectors that double efficiency and cut costs in half. Exxon and Mobil are experimenting with photovoltaics, which...
...decision does not mean that the tapes, expletives and all, will remain deleted from public hearing forever. Rather, the court left it to the General Services Administration, subject to congressional approval, to release them.

DIED. Lucius DuBignon Clay, 80, uncompromising four-star general who directed the rebuilding of Germany after World War II and masterminded the Berlin airlift; in Chatham, Mass. A West Point graduate with a flair for administration, Clay held a number of military engineering posts before spearheading the U.S.'s entire military supply system during World War II. In 1947 he became military governor of the U.S. zone in Germany, where he stabilized the country's economy and helped formulate a constitution guaranteeing democratic elections. Confronted by a Russian siege of Berlin in June 1948, and ordered...
...five years. But that is no big deal: the schools run by the San Francisco Ballet (587 students), the Minnesota Dance Theater (950) and the Ballet West in Salt Lake City (1,000) have doubled in size. Male students, once rare, are becoming more common. Says Charles Fischl, general manager of the Atlanta Ballet: "Americans are more interested in motion and fitness. Ballet is grueling, and people have always admired athletic ability." The success of the film The Turning Point will doubtless bring more recruits; one Chicago school reported a 25% rise in applications after the movie opened there...
