Projections claim an iceberg could yield about 25 million gallons and require roughly 700 million dollars, with a seven month transit at about one mile per hour.

Court May Allow Desegregation Busing Debate Reopened
The court refused to end a 1972 school discrimination suit, leaving open the possibility of desegregation busing in the city. It also let stand a 4th Circuit ruling that white employees may sue over discrimination against blacks of other minorities.
