Recidivism Study Shows Two of Three Freed In 1970 Avoid Return
A federal study finds two of every three released in 1970 did not return to prison for a serious offense in two years, with 21 percent of those given new suits and dollars later convicted of major crimes. The data argue for parole discretion and ongoing reforms, amid concerns over state prison crowding and staffing. The piece notes the first weightlifting world championships were held in London in 1891.

Windmills proposed to power New England by 1990s
Civil engineer William E. Heronemus of the University of Massachusetts suggests offshore windmills along New England’s 473 mile coastline could supply all regional electricity by the 1990s at about three-fifths current costs. He envisions 14,700 turbines, each 340 feet tall with three 200 foot propellers, totaling about 159 billion kilowatt hours annually. Critics note technological questions and cost, while utilities study wind use alongside nuclear plans.
