In 1964, Chrysler gave the world a glimpse of the future. They built a fleet of turbine cars--automobiles with jet engines--and loaned them out to members of the public. The fleet logged over a million miles; the exercise was a raging success.
These turbine engines would run on any flammable liquid--tequila, heating oil, Chanel #5, diesel, alcohol, kerosene. If the cars had been mass produced, we might have cars today that do not require petroleum-derived fuels. The engine was also much simpler

83:A new world order: the rise of China and the decline of the West

115: Emerging economies in healthcare: catching up or taking the lead?
According to Dr Roch Doliveux (MBA ‘81J), CEO of UCB, "the issue of access to medicine is an issue surprisingly both in the developed market and in the so-called emerging market, ‘so-called’ because we can’t talk about China, the second largest economy in the world, as emerging. I would say it has emerged already."
