Anderson R-III.) or former California governor Ronald Reagan if President Carter slips from the throne. "The purpose is not to make substantive recommendation on how to manage a specific transition," Moore says.

Moore, carefully avoiding an answer which would classify Reagan as the current statistical frontrunner or Anderson as a third party long shot, says the studies will be "similar, though not identical in all aspects."

More important than the renovations the Faculty commissions for its buildings, though, will be the efforts of their occupants in noticing energy inefficiencies and correcting them. Abernathy points to the short length of time necessary to carry out the energy study as proof that reducing energy consumption...
