...fuel: excess heat from a coal-burning electricity plant near by is used to keep temperatures in the 60°-to-75° range. Hot waste water from the plant is pumped into the greenhouse through pipes buried in the soil. The sponsors of the $700,000 experiment -the Northern States Power Co., the University of Minnesota and the Environmental Protection Agency-found its potential intriguing. Along with the roses, some 25,000 Ibs. of tomatoes and 5,000 green peppers were also grown. The plant gives off enough waste heat to warm a greenhouse of 1,000 acres; theoretically...

Nearby, at the gloomy, old Stormont Castle, Britain's Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Roy Mason, a tough ex-miner, calmly directed security operations. The 14,500 British troops in Northern Ireland were placed on alert, and 2,000 more were flown in, but order was maintained by the Ulster police force. The Secretary kept a low profile, although he did send Paisley...
Harvard took a 2-0 lead after the first on runs by Singleton amd Santos-Buch for a change, but Jamie Werly's long-awaited northern starting debut seemed fated from the outset. The big righty at last yielded to Larry Brown in the fourth after giving up five runs, five walks, and hitting three batters...
