...comply with the government's demand for energy conservation. Many steel companies fitted blast furnaces with recovery turbines that use the pressure at the top of the furnaces to generate electricity for other steel-mill uses.

From 1973 to 1979, Japanese planners reduced the energy needed to make cars by 25% and the fuel necessary for chemicals by 23%. Total industrial-energy use has declined...

In 1940, a 20-piece "starter set" of Wright's American Modern pottery dinner dishes cost about $6. The announcement that year of a new shipment at Gimbels' New York store caused block-long lines and a near riot. The design had never been as popular in America...
