...green-highway movement is not a no-brainer, according to Dean Greb, a retired Chrysler marketing executive in Saline, Mich., and an EV enthusiast. He lives a half-mile from U.S. 12. "People don't fully understand the concept because they don't see a lot of electric cars and they don't know the trends," says Greb. "It will take funding and time to put in electric charge stations along the route and to promote the concept and to create events that draw people to spend their vacations driving from town to town...
Many of them are nearly ghost towns these days, including the once popular auto-touring stop of Irish Hills, where two empty wooden observation towers loom over the rolling Michigan landscape. "A true green corridor might bring these places back to life," says Greb. "We could draw people from around the world. It could be the start of where the old-fashioned America meets...
...Hagler's own occasional caution. But now nine years removed from his two losses in 65 fights, to Philadelphians Willie ("the Worm") Monroe and Bobby ("Boogaloo") Watts, the champion has finally turned the public corner at 30, after coming down that bravest street in boxing, where Stanley Ketchel, Harry Greb, Tony Zale, Rocky Graziano, Jake LaMotta, Sugar Ray Robinson and all the veterans of middleweight wars hang out. The usual lopsided faces congregated again last week in Las Vegas, not just for the big fight but for LaMotta's sixth wedding. Jake is 0 and 5. In the middle...
...Navy's navigation satellites, which looked like a bass drum spangled with bright solar cells and patches of white paint. Perched on top of it like the gobs of a three-scoop ice cream cone were a polished aluminum sphere, the Naval Research Laboratory's Greb III solar radiation satellite, and a smaller drum named Injun, built at Dr. James Van Allen's laboratory at the State University of Iowa. Boosted aloft by a Thor-Able-Star rocket, all three satellites soared into space together. Though the launch was successful, the strong springs, meant to shove...
...famous. It weighs only 40 lbs., but packed inside are instruments to measure particles circulating around the earth in the two Van Allen radiation belts, to count fresh particles arriving from the sun or distant space, and to observe several kinds of light from airglow and auroras. Greb III (155 lbs.) is simpler; it is part of the Navy's long-term effort to study solar radiation that ionizes the atmosphere and effects radio transmission. Its job is to keep tabs on X rays coming mostly from solar flares...
