Gardner's proposals call for an elimination of 77% of the hydrocarbons and 68% of the carbon monoxide released through an automobile's exhaust pipe. How close has U.S. industry come to producing a device that would satisfy the proposed 1970 standards? At least one control system, said Interior Secretary Stewart Udall last week, has shown that "technology already exists that can be adapted to the internal-combustion engine to meet the air-pollution standards proposed...
...from 1947 to 1952 as the Government's top peacemaker-the hulking (6 ft. 7 in.), Canadian-born lawyer ironed out countless labor spats with such dogged patience that even John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers couldn't hurry up "Ching and his damned pipe." Both of them worked overtime in the post-war labor climate bringing about settlements, including accords in 1948's two coal strikes and 1949's crippling steel walkout...
After the Missile Crisis of 1962, most Cubans realized their chances for return were pipe-dreams.

The Wall is now nicely whitewashed; besides the esthetic consideration, this gives the Grepos a better backdrop for shooting...
With Allis-Chalmers' $850 million in annual sales, the deal, if it goes through, stands to raise Signal's sales to $2.3 billion a year. Before Shumway, now 40, a pipe-smoking ex-Marine (and nephew of Founder-Chairman Samuel B. Mosher), became president in 1964, sales were $444 million. Vowing to look into "anything that's well managed and in a growth industry," Shumway is well on his way toward making his company-whatever its eventual name-one of the nation's hugest corporations...
