Near Sandusky, Ohio, NASA'S Lewis Research Center is putting finishing touches on a lOO-ft.-tall experimental steel windmill with two 62-ft.-long aluminum blades. When these blades begin turning in the summer breezes off Lake Erie later this month, they should produce as much as 100 kilowatts of electricity, enough to meet the needs of 30 one-family homes. Other projects range from a large eggbeater-shaped rotor being tested by New Mexico's Sandia Laboratories to small sail-driven devices created by such ecology-minded outfits as R. Buckminster Fuller's Windworks...
...felony cases would serve a prescribed term of as little as a week up to six months, including the possibility of doing their time on weekends or nights so that work or school opportunities would not be lost. Short "shock treatment" sentences have been used successfully in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky; the claimed benefit is that prisoners get the rectifying jolt of prison without the dehumanization of long exposure to prison life, and there has been a lower than average recidivism rate...
Four years ago, Don King was inmate No. 6178 at the Marion (Ohio) Correctional Institution. He spent his days in the prison work gang hauling hog manure as he served a one-to-20-year manslaughter sentence for having killed a numbers racketeer who had doublecrossed him.

For that work he rents a choice office suite: the $85,000-a-year, eight-room penthouse atop the RCA Building in Rockefeller Center. That eyrie high above Manhattan is symbolic...
Ever since the beginning of the nuclear age, the U.S. Government has had a monopoly on the domestic manufacture of basic atomic fuel: enriched uranium.* But the Government's three enrichment plants at Oak Ridge, Tenn., Paducah, Ky., and Portsmouth, Ohio, cannot keep pace with the demands of proliferating nuclear power plants; the output of enriched uranium has been booked for the next 25 years. If the U.S. is not to lose the lion's share of the lucrative nuclear-fuel market to foreign newcomers-the U.S.S.R., France and others-the Federal Government must either build at least...
...provide equal opportunity to play. Presumably this means women's teams if the demand is there, though HEW's rules do not flatly say so. Nor must schools spend as much per capita on girls' athletic programs as they do on boys'. If they did, Ohio State, for one, might have to sharply increase its spending on women's sports by slicing off a sizable chunk of the more than $3 million that it devotes to its big and lucrative men's program...
