...revived by the work of the giant Dutch electronics firm, N.V. Philips, which has tested Stirling prototypes in boats, large pumps (to help dry out Holland during 1952's devastating floods) and even buses. In 1972, impressed by the Dutch results, Ford signed an agreement with Philips for joint development of a Stirling engine for passenger cars...
...their target. Whatever the cause, the shortened flight was an embarrassment to the Russians, who had advertised it as another warmup for next year's Apollo-Soyuz rendezvous. It was also a disappointment to American officials, who worry that Soviet space technology might not be up to the joint mission. Moreover, financially-strapped NASA now will find it more difficult to convince Congress that it needs more funds for space research, particularly for joint experiments with the Russians...

No longer will the movement of Greek troops be coordinated by NATO, nor will they participate in joint maneuvers and training exercises. It is even possible that Greece will withdraw from the alliance's computer-operated, early-warning radar system, which runs from the Arctic Circle in Norway to Asia Minor. This would leave part of the periphery of the Warsaw Pact unmonitored by ground radar...
