...rotor being tested by New Mexico's Sandia Laboratories to small sail-driven devices created by such ecology-minded outfits as R. Buckminster Fuller's Windworks in Wisconsin and the food-growing New Alchemy Institute on Cape Cod (TIME, March 17). Long Island's Energetics Nine, Inc., recently started selling wind-driven units that deliver from 750 to 12,500 watts of electricity (an average refrigerator requires 250 watts).

...fact, some brokerage houses have set a new $25 minimum fee per trade, and most have raised charges to private investors 2% to 8%. There are some signs, however, that the fee trimming ultimately may spread to individual investors. Last week the small Wall Street house of Quick & Reilly, Inc. began cutting commissions as much as 40% (though it still charges a $25 minimum), and some other brokerages are offering complicated discounts on the second step of two-stage buy-and-sell deals. Hence the individual investor has new incentive to shop around...
