...engines of the 155-mm. and 175-mm. self-propelled gun carriers are turned off is when Soviet spy satellites are about to pass overhead. The engines are shut down eight hours before the pass-overs so that infra-red sensors on the satellites will not pick up motor-engine heat, thereby disclosing Israeli strengths and dispositions...
...motor companies are falling all over themselves to reduce the price of their cars. Oh, happy...
Rafferty (Alan Arkin) is a depressed drunk who has spent 20 boring years in the Marine Corps, and now quietly despises his job administering driving tests for the California department of motor vehicles. The "twins" are Mac (Sally Kellerman), who is drifting around the country vaguely looking for a job singing country music, and Frisbee (Mackenzie Phillips), a teen-age orphan who is just plain drifting. Frisbee may not be as tough as she thinks she is, but she is definitely not as appealing as the people who made this movie seem to think she must...
...disclosed that new car sales in December skidded 26% below a year ago; for 1974, they were down a punishing 23%. Unemployment has reached 7.1% and threatens to exceed 8% before the recession bottoms out ? the highest jobless rate since 1961. This week, for one week, the Ford Motor Co. will close 22 of its plants, idling 85,000 workers. In response to the worsening economic news, the Louis Harris Poll indicates that 86% of the public thinks the President is mishandling the economy...
...objective of the impact analysis was to evaluate the maximum carbon monoxide levels which could arise as a consequence of both adverse meteorological conditions and peak roadway traffic. Although motor vehicles are also major contributors to community nitrogen oxides and reactive hydrocarbon emissions, these species participate in a series of complex photochemical reactions for which the current atmospheric diffusion modeling technology does not permit preparation of reliable estimates of projected concentration levels. Therefore, emphasis was placed principally on carbon monoxide concentration levels as this pollutant is relatively inert. In addition, carbon monoxide is the pollutant emitted in the largest quantities...
