...idea for the race came from Caltech Physics Graduate Wally Rippel, 23, whose experiences with Los Angeles' eye-smarting smog had inspired him to create a fumeless electric car two years ago. When he heard that students at M.I.T. were developing a similar electric model-as are several auto companies, including Ford, General Motors and American Motors-he challenged them to a transcontinental race. The aim of the operation: to stimulate interest in non-air-pollutant electrics...

They also share a preoccupation with a visual illusionism that plays with space and color to make the eye see beyond the surface of the work, perhaps inspired by the clear, bright light of Southern California (on its non-smog-gy days).

Why not generate electricity at the fuel source-distant oil or coal fields-and then wire it to cities? On the other hand, industrialization must not be taken to distant places that can be better used for other purposes. Industrializing Appalachia, for example, would smogify a naturally hazy region that settlers aptly named the Smokies. The right business for Appalachia is recreation; federal money could spur a really sizable tourist industry...
