...odds of winning one seemed stacked against Yale at the outset, as Ken MacKenzie's squad entered the EIBL twin bill with a 2-12 record (0-16 in the league). But Gallagher's unusual performance enabled the Elis to win their first from the Crimson since 1966, snapping a nine-game string for Harvard...

The idea would have seemed ridiculous during the long years when AMC was the only one of the four U.S. automakers losing money and struggling to stay in business. But in a market shrunk by the twin forces of inflation and the energy crisis, AMC's stress on low-priced, gas-saving small cars has suddenly made it the only company that is still prospering.

Potentially the most promising geothermal sources lie in areas where molten rock, or "magma," is fairly close to the earth's surface. In theory, engineers can sink twin wells as deep as 20,000 feet to the hot underlying rock and then fracture it. Clean water, pumped down one hole, would be heated by the broken-up magma and would return up the other well as steam...
