Education offer may draw volunteers with funded college plan
A University of Michigan ISR study argues four years of paid schooling for four years of service could outpace pay as a lure for recruits. It compares paid education incentives with higher salaries, suggesting education benefits attract higher‑ability youths and benefit civilian society. The proposal combines an enlarged GI bill with saved pay to fund tuition, living costs, and a path to four years of college before or after four years of active duty.

UCLA study touts CV-100 fuel additive breakthrough
A two year UCLA study by Albert F. Bush and colleagues reports CV-100 may cut carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon exhaust by up to 50 percent while boosting fuel economy 10 to 15 percent. The additive, usable in gasoline diesel and heavy fuel oils, promises cleaner emissions, better mileage and more power, with lower octane fuels improving more. Tests are under way with fleet owners and major oil companies in the United States and Canada.

Democrats erase the law and the choice of voter
The 1972 drive for reforms by the National Democratic party has led to 12 states and the District binding delegates to follow primary results. Pennsylvania and others allow binding by party rules. In all, about 1,225 of 3,016 delegates could be bound or morally bound, shifting influence from voters to convention delegates and prompting criticism of arrogance toward voters.
