...daily total of 14,225 tons of pollutants lofted into the atmosphere have been blamed on car engines. The California law is the model for federal legislation that will go into effect for all '68 models. Chrysler has already improved its carburetor and spark adjustment. Ford will install its "Imco" (for improved combustion), and American Motors now has approval for its new engine designed to cut fume emission. General Motors has developed an air-pump system driven by the fan belt...
...Huks to start shooting again apparently came from Peking via Manila to the Luzon countryside, and seems to have been aimed at provoking a national outcry at Marcos' recent decision to send Filipino troops to Viet Nam. So far, the Huk outbreak is far too small to spark a keep-the-troops-at-home reaction.

Black power!", hundreds of Negro hoodlums charged up and down the streets, smashing and looting white-owned shops at will...
Results of the collisions and near collisions are measured in the target buildings by giant spectrometers, or photographed in spark and bubble chambers, which trace the paths of atomic, and subatomic particles. Analysis of the results reveals the mass, charge and energy of particles produced by the interaction of electrons with the target; it gives scientists fresh insight into the structure of the atomic nucleus. It can also identify new and previously unsuspected subatomic particles...
...National wants to feel sure that these funds will not be withdrawn from its vaults, it cannot afford to take open stands on social issues. In Haryou's language, what appeals to the black masses alienates the white power structure. Hudgins' church sermons on thrift, followed by solicitations, cannot spark the same kind of enthusiasm which could be generated by playing up the fact that Freedom National has no investments in South Africa, unlike most of the larger New York banks. Fear of their white depositor's antagonistic reaction to publicity of this fact has kept the bank's directors...
