...hopes to be first out. It has beefed up a four-wheel golf-cart chassis, bolted on a snub-nosed auto body, and named the resulting vehicle CitiCar. Four prototypes are presently scooting around at speeds of up to 30 m.p.h. over distances of 50 miles before needing a seven-hour recharge from household current. The car seats two people and consumes a little more than 1 kw-h per mile (cost: about 2½? at current utility rates in Florida). Twenty-five hundred CitiCars are expected to come off the assembly line by year's end from...
Last week, in a seven-hour parliamentary debate that at times became a shouting match, Kreisky continued his confusing public stance by repeating his determination to close SchÖnau. Later a government spokesman explained that the Chancellor anticipates doing "nothing that could hinder or in any way endanger the transit of Soviet-Jewish emigres through Austria.

About 2000 people crowded into the hall, most of them pro-Frisoli. The session was interrupted periodically by fistfights, a bomb scare, and continual chanting and clapping. Frisoli termed his opponents "educational deviates and radicals" and at one point he became incensed at an anti-Frisoli speech. He raced to the front of the stage, where he called the departing speaker--a representative of the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce--"the biggest weasel that ever hit this town." An unidentified...
