When the Harvard Employment office moved upstairs in Holyoke Center recently, it created space for the bookstore, Michael F. Brewer, assistant vice president for government and community affairs, said Wednesday...
...PROJECT CALCULATES the application of available solar technology could provide 7 to 23 per cent of the United States' energy needs by the year 2000. The Project is not referring to massive, multibillion dollar power stations in space which beam electricity back to earth via microwave (a NASA pet project): rather, it is talking about solar house and hot water heating, windmills, wood burning and hydraulic power. Modeste A. Maidique, assistant professor at the Business School, writes...
Moving in separate routes, the royals do not actually mingle with the guests but stroll as individual islands in deferential open space. Gentlemen in morning suits -definitely not Moss Bros-with red carnations as a mark of authority preposition selected guests for a chat with the Queen.

It also sent back new data about Jupiter's Jovian radiation fields and found a "hot spot" of plasma, whose temperatures reach 300 million to 400 million degrees C. It even discovered a thin...
