Within Limits. The new device, now undergoing tests by the Interior Department's Bureau of Mines, is called an exhaust-manifold reactor. Developed by Du Pont over the past two years, the reactor system would replace the regular manifold unit on U.S. vehicles. It consists of two 4½-in. by 22-in. alloy-coated stainless-steel cylinders that fit over the sides of a standard V-8 engine. (Only one reactor is required for a six-cylinder model.) As high-temperature exhaust gases flow into the reactors, air is blown into them by a small pump, causing...
...bureau's Bartlesville, Okla., petroleum research center, will continue through July. Thus far, they have demonstrated that the reactor can cut automotive hydrocarbon exhaust to less than 70 parts per million, compared with an average of 900 p. p.m. in exhaust from cars unequipped with pollution-control units. Carbon monoxide has been reduced to less than .7% of the total exhaust from a car equipped with the reactor. Both figures are well within the 1970 standards proposed last week. Nonetheless, said one Du Pont official, the unit is far from commercially feasible. Yet to come: additional testing, reduction...
What New York did, in 1948, was to lump every unit of public higher education in the state* into one vast multiversity. By the standards of the past, S.U.N.Y. hardly seems like a university at all. Instead of one central campus, it has 59: four major university centers (at Stony Brook, Buffalo, Binghamton and Albany), ten four-year colleges of arts and science, two medical centers, seven specialized colleges in such fields as forestry and labor relations, six two-year agricultural and technical schools, and 30 junior colleges...

...Marine blocking force. In a fierce day-long battle, the ARVN soldiers, using their new M16s, killed at least 100 of the North Vietnamese v. only 15 ARVN dead, while allied air, artillery and helicopters killed another 100. A day later, another ARVN battalion flushed a Viet Cong unit in Quang Ngai province to the south and killed...
