Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, dressed in his best diplomatic gray chalk-stripe, gathered White House reporters last week into a windowless room of the San Clemente complex, and in his outraged-uncle manner denounced the stories that he had become more powerful in foreign affairs than the President. "Totally incorrect," said Kissinger. A Secretary of State is an "agent of the President" or he is "nothing...
...send warm areas the maximum amount of cool air possible, while lessening the flow to the coolest areas. A new U.S. General Services Administration building in Manchester, N.H., will use 60% less energy than an average building of the same size. Plans call for the north wall to be windowless and insulated more heavily than any of the other walls; the south wall will have fins that shade in the summer and allow absorption of solar heat in winter. East and west walls are designed to divert winds, which usually come from one of those two directions. Thus a minimum...
...that the wages of sin are sex, a lesson that he preaches with cloying sobriety and lengthy illustration. Spevlin employs all manner of props and partners (including a rather amiable snake) to slake her desires, but she pays for it all in the end.

...Viet Nam a stricken city, rapidly emptying of people, without electricity and in some places water, many of its streets and even whole quarters smashed and cratered by the ferocity of daily U.S. bombing raids. Once neat one-story houses lay flattened or lurched at odd angles, roofless and windowless. On one street, a young worker in a red helmet stared numbly into a pit that was once his home. In it lay children's shattered copybooks, a dead black hen, and a mosquito net still hanging on one end from an upright beam. On another street, relief crews...
RISING starkly from the dusty fields of California's San Joaquin Valley are 100 huge metal cylinders that look like an array of petrochemical tanks. Alongside them are rows of mostly windowless industrial buildings that sprawl over an area as large as six city blocks. This symbol of technological power is not a pulsing refinery; it is the E. & J. Gallo Winery of Modesto, Calif. Inside the cylinders, millions of gallons of California Burgundy, Chablis and rosé age. Inside the buildings, squads of chemists pore over their latest oenological formulations, while viniculturists experiment with ways to improve soil...
