...Angeles department of water and power plans to build a 200-kw photovoltaic system that may provide the energy to run a power plant's cooling tower in suburban Sun Valley, Calif. If this project gets federal funding and goes through, it would be eight times larger than the biggest existing photovoltaic system. Up to now, such systems have generally been confined to remote and inaccessible locations where the costs of providing conventional power are prohibitive. For example, in California solar cells generate energy for Coast Guard buoys, rural water pumps, VHF telecommunications relay towers, automatic weather stations and even...

...corporation, fairly insensitive to people's needs." Concern for those needs became a major issue in the strike. Students subsequently worked with tenants' groups in Cambridge and Roxbury, with mixed success. The strikers helped pressure the University into building a housing complex in Roxbury; three buildings in that project are named after Harvard students. They did not, however, halt Harvard's expansion, didn't prevent rent increases in Harvard-owned buildings, didn't save houses from demolition. "But failing there doesn't mean we were wrong to fight about it," Berg says. "It just means we didn...
...apparently feel that the public is ready for their clinical findings on a more controversial form of sex: homosexuality. They can hardly be accused of rushing into print-the homosexual research project began in 1964 and the laboratory work was finished in 1968. The book reports on the sexual performance of 176 homosexuals-94 men, 82 women -ranging in age from 21 to 54. The homosexuals were compared with two groups of heterosexuals: 567 men and women culled from the original participants in the Human Sexual Response study and 114 new volunteers. As before, these human guinea pigs went through...
...book's most unexpected findings did not come out of the homosexual research project, but from sex therapy provided for gays-itself something of a pioneering venture. Between 1968 and 1977 the researchers treated, for various sexual problems, 151 homosexuals, including 54 men and 13 women who wanted to convert or revert to heterosexuality. M & J do not list a success rate for such conversions, only a known failure rate. That failure rate is now at 35%, and is not expected to exceed 45% when all the five-year follow-ups are completed. For professional therapists, many of whom believe...
