...contestants on something called "costs to the consumer." The bemused car owner finds Paisley and Nattress hard at work on the line evaluating a front-wheel-drive, hydrogen-powered, hydraulic-assisted entry from the University of Wisconsin's Stout campus. Even with some donated parts, the exotic power plant modestly housed in a blue Dodge Omni body cost $25,000 in cash. Student Steve Mann insists that the car would be "as cheap as or cheaper" than any current production model to massproduce. Mann is young and tousle-headed. But with poise beyond his years he points out that...
...boat, surprisingly, was left unguarded. It was moored with (about a dozen other small craft at the public dock, and it would have been a simple task for a terrorist to slip through the shadows and plant a bomb on it. That apparently is what happened. Police last week charged two men from the Irish Republic, Francis McGirl, 24, and Thomas McMahon, 31, with Mountbatten's murder. In a strange twist of circumstance, both men had been detained two hours before the bomb on Mountbatten's boat went off, at a routine roadside checkpoint 70 miles away...

...engaged Gore in a lively discussion at a school in Willette. Asked a lean farmer in blue overalls: "Are we going to be able to get enough fuel this fall to harvest our crops?" A long-haired, bearded farmer, Jeff Poppen, wanted to know: "If they build this nuclear plant down here in Hartsville, are we going to be able to eat from our garden?" One oldtimer responded: "The question is, do we want to live the life-style we are used to living or do we want to go back 100 years...
Sasol II is being put up 100 miles from the present plant. The $2.9 billion Sasol II will be environmentally cleaner; precipitators above the boilers will extract chemical fumes and reduce air pollution, and water will be recycled rather than dumped in rivers. In addition, productivity will be higher: 1.78 bbl. of synthetic oil from each ton of coal, vs. 1.26 bbl. at present. As soon as that plant is finished next February, construction will start near by on Sasol III. Once the three plants are in operation, they will save an estimated $400 million a year in foreign exchange...
