...from 28 grams per mile with gasoline to 2 with natural gas; nitrous oxides dropped from 4 grams to .5. Already the company has started converting 1,100 other vehicles in its fleet to natural gas. Last month the Federal Government began testing the Pacific Lighting system for possible use on its own 51,000 vehicles...
...Tree. The idea began eleven years ago in Ipswich, Mass., when residents set out to save a marsh from a drain-and-fill project. In seeking legal authority, they discovered a local ordinance empowering Ipswich to acquire land for uses that might enhance the community, and then drafted a bill allowing any town in Massachusetts to protect its natural resources. In 1957, the state legislature passed the law, and 285 Massachusetts towns have since created conservation commissions. Both the state and federal governments have also put up matching funds that help the commissions buy land for public use. One result...
...Edwardses are retried, suggested the court, the state must show that the evidence seized in the search of their house was not the "fruit" of the unlawful search of their trash. To use this evidence, the state will have to prove that the police would have been interested in the couple's activities even without the telltale trash, and also had other probable cause to arrest them.

...Russians' profit from their splashy fair at Kuala Lumpur came chiefly in the form of experience.

Bekleshov, the gray-suited vice president of Vneshtorgreklama, the export agency's ad company. "Our tractors are better than...
Ultra-violet measurements, like these, are important because ultra-violet rays from the sun occasionally interfere with earth's radio communications, and the energy from these invisible light waves supplies much of the solar heat that determines the earth's weather. Astronomers use slight, variations in the sun's ultra-violet spectrum as clues to the chemical and physical reactions goingon at various depths in the sun. By comparing satellite measurements of invisible radiation with earth-bound records of the sun's visible light, scientists should be able to predict some of these reactions and their effects on earth...
