Editorial : From Publishers Weekly Challenged by a student in his environmental studies class at Dartmouth to do something rather than just talk about lowering pollution levels, Perrin went to Santa Rosa, Calif, and bought an electric car. The vehicle had the drawbacks common to many EVs: powered by a combination of batteries and solar panels on the roof and hood, it had to be recharged frequently (but could use any household outlet); its range was only 40-65 miles, depending on the flatness of the teain; and its top speed was 65 mph, although it used less electrity at lower velocities.

14. Costello has penned a very sympathetic, but clear biography of Macmurray. The main driver behind this book was really, John von Neumann.
3. Also adding to the monotony of the novel was that it serves more as a declaration of Mailer's political views instead of a statement of emotion. Unlike Steinbeck, Mailer fails at this task. As one who has read probably a hundred books on the Supreme Court and it's Justices (perhaps more), I can certainly say this study of Justice John Marshall Harlan "II" is a fine addition to the field, and worth the read if you're looking for a detailed examination of Justice Harlan's life and his approach to judicial work. the 'EDC'), an interest apparently sparked by reading Turing's se
