He asserts a world of 8 billion living like West Germans could need only one third current energy, with gains from lighting, motors, and efficient appliances.

Shuttle carries spy satellite aboard Atlantis for secret mission
The space shuttle Atlantis will launch with a classified spy satellite to monitor Soviet arms control. Officials say the 37,300 pound payload will photograph and intercept communications over a high latitude orbit covering most of the USSR. A Soviet official dismissed the mission as wasteful while Moscow observers viewed the launch pad. The mission, described as a four day after dusk flight, marks a rare military-focused shuttle run. A separate Fire Island report notes a mysterious sludge washing ashore, potentially harming wildlife, with Coast Guard samples taken to identify the substance.
