Automen insist that they cannot duplicate in road tests every condition that may come up in actual driving; that...
...manufacture a steel beer can with an aluminum fliptop opening takes three times as much energy as making an all-steel can. A frost-free refrigerator consumes almost twice as much electric power as a conventional model. "You use power to make ice-and then use power to melt the ice," complained Microbiologist Barry Commoner as he offered these examples last week in testimony before the House Interior Committee...

The irrepressible Sagan has speculated that one form of Jovian life might be large, ballasted, gasbag-like creatures that swallow up organic matter as they float through...
