...Pearl Street Station to supply 85 New Yorkers with incandescent light. By 1920 the U.S. was producing 40 billion kw-h of electricity. Today it takes 25% of all its fossil fuels (plus some fissionable uranium) and produces 1.6 quadrillion kwh, or 34% of the world's output. The largest share of this power (40% ) goes to industry; the rest is split mostly be tween commercial (22%) and residential (34%) uses...

Government officials speculate only that the ever-present specter of budget cuts and hold-downs has forced federal managers to figure out their own ways to get more out of their workers...
...really going on than the English and Physics Departments put together. Among the fantasies that have kept me amused through many a drowsy lecture is the image of capturing the whole Faculty of Arts end Sciences in Burr B and making them listen to the entirety of the Stones' output from England's Newest Hitmakers on, at top volume, just to see if any of them catch on. The Stones would be particularly appropriate for such an action because, unlike the late lamented Beatles, they have always represented those elements of AM radio which are most incomprehensible and noisy...
...consists of five copy editors working with Weiss in crowded quarters off the Champs-Elysées. Six nights a week, they cull streams of copy that issue from 16 Teletypes, providing the Trib with a broad choice that goes beyond the Post's and Times's output. Material also comes from the Los Angeles Times and Chicago's Daily News and Sun-Times, in addition to a full range of U.S. and foreign news agencies. Weiss and his colleagues are free to choose whichever story says it best for the international reader. No copy quotas...
