That is more optimistic than other carmakers are about their electrics. Ford last week admitted that any use of its new sodium-sulphur battery (TIME, Oct. 21, 1966) is still ten years away. General Motors sees little chance of bringing down the $15,000 it would cost to produce the silver-zinc batteries in its Electrovair II prototype. But the planning goes on, and should ultimately produce practical results. Among other names and notions being concocted by A.M.C. Styling Chief Richard Teague is a car called "the Voltswagon...

Their growing following is symptomatic of the stirrings within the realm that 19th century English Clergyman-Critic Sydney Smith dismissed contemptuously as "that garret of the earth, that knuckle-end of England, that land of Calvin, oat-cakes and sulphur."

Outside Houston, Texas Gulf Sulphur reopened its Old Gulf mine, a relic that the company had worked for 13 years before closing it in 1932 when it was thought to be no longer profitable.
