Kenneth R. Cole Jr., Ehrlichman's former assistant, expresses the same view: "He is a much warmer human being than most people perceive. On Mother's Day, he sent boxes of candy to the White House telephone operators. It used to drive us to distraction the way he would constantly be meeting with people who had no relation to the business at hand. Like, maybe, a Boy Scout troop-he'd be over in the White House theater telling them about the place...
Warm Earth. Geological evidence indicates that over most of its history, the earth was a far warmer place than it has been for the past 2,000,000 years. Humidity and temperatures were higher, there was more cloud cover, and barren zones with little vegetation were more common. If the banked-fires theory is correct, the relatively cooler recent period, including short-term "ice ages," might indicate that the sun's core is now being mixed, and may return to its normal output in about 4,000,000 years. Cameron estimates that such mixing events may be separated...
...Nature, Carl Sagan of Cornell and Andrew Young of Caltech have suggested that fluctuating solar output could explain such Martian mysteries as the river-bed-like channels recently photographed by the Mariner 9 spacecraft. Martian water, now locked firmly in the frozen poles, presumably would have flowed freely during warmer times. Sagan and Young go further. Suspecting that our sun is not unique in its quirky behavior, they checked other nearby stars. In the cluster Praesepe, they found a number of stars that varied widely from expected energy output. Such variations, they say, broaden the long-term temperature ranges...
...average jetliner load from the present 52% to 60%-they will save about 1.3 billion gallons a year. Citizens can help too. They should drive more slowly on highways to cut gas consumption, and they should set thermostats on their air conditioners to provide room temperatures about four degrees warmer than usual. That would require from 15% to 20% less electricity. Summed up Nixon: "I believe that the American people must develop an energy-conservation ethic...
Baseball powerhouses are supposed to be built in the South and West where weather and great interest in the sport combine to put thousands of kids into youth leagues from the age of seven on. So it is with some surprise that the baseball "experts" from warmer climates are viewing Harvard's amazing charge to a 35-3 record and a berth in the NCAA College World Series to be played in Omaha this week...
