After yearlong tests of six cars and trucks fueled by natural gas, the company reports a dramatic decrease in air pollution. Because natural gas burns cleanly, the vehicles emitted almost no hydrocarbons. Measuring the emissions with infra-red light, engineers found that carbon monoxide in the exhaust fell from 28 grams per mile with gasoline to 2 with natural gas; nitrous oxides dropped from 4 grams to .5. Already the company has started converting 1,100 other vehicles in its fleet to natural gas. Last month the Federal...
Soon this small bird, native only to Texas, may be just a footnote in an ornithology textbook-another species that failed to adapt to man. One of its last retreats is Meridian State Park, a 461-acre tangle of cedar breaks and cactus populated by rattlesnakes, red-spotted toads, tarantulas and a steady flock of hardy bird watchers who come to catch a glimpse of the warbler.

Fifty-one of these events were important enough to warrant full-scale scientific investigations...
...another aide added the final touch: he refilled the star's coffee mug. Even those in the back of the studio audience heard the clink of ice cubes in his cup. Iced coffee, an associate suggested, but surely the whole house knew damn well it was Johnnie Walker Red Label. As the clap board proclaimed, this was the Joe Namath Show, Take...
