...expects to snare 10,000 U.S. customers this year. Though the interiors seem cramped, the Mazdas are not cheap: $2,495 for the R-100 and $2,800 for the larger, more powerful RX-2. Their appeal lies in jackrabbit speed and smooth riding. The Mazda can accelerate from zero to 60 m.p.h. in 13 sec., and the faster the car is driven, at least up to 100 m.p.h., the quieter it sounds to passengers...
...coup it was under a slowdown, a very significant slowdown. We had a rate of growth of about nine per cent when we fell, and their rate of growth, of course, by even their own statements, was less than half that, and I think it was probably almost zero the first year, year and a half. Now they argue that it's up to eight per cent. I doubt it, and I understand that also the World Bank doubts it, but it's not inconceivable, let's put it that way, it's not inconceivable...
...adapting the engine for automotive use. To ensure that the car will not resemble a tank, the entire propulsion system cannot weigh more than 1,600 lbs., v. 1,300 lbs. for a conventional medium-sized car. Yet the system must be able to thrust the car from zero to 60 m.p.h. in 13 sec., drive it up a 5% grade at 60 m.p.h. and give it a top speed of 80 m.p.h. To make the engine marketable, the company must also find a way to lessen the danger of freeze-ups in frigid weather and the problem of quickly...
Stored Data. Planned Parenthood groups and some religious agencies offer the same service free. But nothing quite matches a new computerized service run by Zero Population Growth Inc., a nonprofit organization headquartered in Los Altos, Calif. From its founding in 1968, it was inundated with requests for abortion referrals. "This wasn't our main purpose, but we couldn't turn these people away," says Z.P.G.'s executive director, Shirley Radl. "Then we found ourselves accumulating information on doctors, hospitals and costs around the country." The natural next step was to organize the data and store...
Then comes the end, and that is anybody's guess. Ali's for example: Five minutes before the fight, he plans to remove a sheet of paper from a sealed envelope inscribed: THE SECRET OF MUHAMMAD ALI. Then, while the closed-circuit TV cameras zero in, he will predict the round in which Frazier will fall. That, of course, is not Joe's style at all. But his prediction makes more sense. "I wouldn't really want to say who will win," he says. "But one thing I do know. It will be one hell of a fight...
