...greater chance for involvement in social issues. He spent one recent summer writing for the liberal New Republic, another working with Nader's Raiders, where he helped assemble a scathing report on personnel practices at the Federal Trade Commission. One law school acquaintance calls him "a left leaner from the right side of the tracks." Tricia insists that Cox is a registered Republican. "He considers himself an independent," she said at a press conference last week. But "I think he'd vote for my father if he ran again...
Tillinghast staged the demonstration to show the industry's progress in curbing air pollution by modifying jet-engine combustion chambers to burn a leaner fuel on takeoff. This eliminates smoke, though not invisible gases like carbon monoxide. TWA is spending $2,000,000 to alter its engines this way; all U.S. airlines are pledged to achieve smokeless takeoffs by 1973, which may cost the lines as much as $100 million...

...Hats, Nine Spreads. Faced by the squeeze and the modernization necessary to escape it, small ranchers are giving up. Not too long ago, a herd of 150 cattle could be grazed economically; today 400 represent the lowest economical unit. The trend is to younger, leaner cattle, raised on bigger, better spreads. The biggest operation of all, and a beacon for the industry, belongs to Robert O. Anderson, 50, who wears one big hat as chairman and chief executive of the Atlantic Richfield Co., doffs that for a cattleman's Stetson when he turns to the business he enjoys most...
