The additional water requires the discharge of diluted sewage into the river through the overflow valves...

Taking another tack, Townsend paid $17 million for a 35% interest in Madrid's thriving Barreiros Diesel S.A., Spain's biggest privately owned truck and enginemaker, which is not bound by the new decree. Aided by Chrysler know-how and money, President Eduardo Barreiros, 43 (TIME, April 12), will build a new plant, intends to produce 15,000 Dodge Darts the first year. Another attractive angle for Chrysler: autos made in Spain can more...
