...might well have passed muster if the tests had been properly performed. As far as emissions go, the engines differ very little from those in current models. The only new federal requirement is installation of a device designed to limit oxides-of-nitro-gen emissions to 3 gm. per mi. or less. The same system is already required on cars sold in California, though the emissions limit there is 3.2 gm. per mi., and Ford's 1972 engines met that standard -indicating that at worst the engines for the 1973 models are very close to satisfying the federal requirements...
...conditions that produced the rumbles of the 1950s have, if anything, worsened. The population density of the Southeast Bronx-500,000 people crammed into 5 sq. mi.-is among the nation's highest. Housing, health care, employment and education are woefully substandard. Fifty percent of the children under six have never been immunized against polio.

It is not only convenient for the 18,000 residents in the 3-sq.-mi. district now served by Telebuses but also financially beneficial for the city transit system, which needs more passengers to cut its deficit. During a particularly bitter cold snap early in January, the city's eleven 42-passenger Telebuses responded to an average of 2,000 calls per day. Cost of the service: 35?, only a dime more than the standard fare...
...stage, she takes possession of it, just as she did during her last public performances in 1965 (Tosca at the Met and Covent Garden). With each student, she proceeds as she did last week with Korean Soprano Kyu Do Park. She let her sing all of Mi chiamano Mimi (They call me Mimi) from La Boheme, then went to work, singing phrases back to show how to put meaning into them. When Callas came to the word "Mimi," her rich, smoky voice swelled with emotion. "Have no doubt about who you are," she explained...
