During breezy early mornings in summer, the contribution goes even higher. “At those times, the wind accounts for up to 8% of our electrical load,” said Mary A. Ilyin, a wind researcher for Pacific Gas & Electric, the country’s largest utility and a major booster of wind power.Half of California’s turbines…are located in Altamont Pass and feed directly into PG&E’s grid. Most of the rest are found in two other major wind centers…. Both are hooked up to the power lines of Southern California Edison.       From Golden, Frederic. “Electric Wind.” Los Angeles Times 24 Dec. 1990:B1.

Three years later, the Delmonicos (as John and Peter now called themselves) opened a “Restaurant Francais” next door that was among the first in town to let diners order from a menu of choices, at any time they pleased, and sit at their own cloth-covered tables—so crowded (one guidebook warned) that your elbows were “pinned down to your sides like the wings of a trussed fowl.” New Yorkers were a bit unsure about the fancy foreign customs at first, and the earliest patrons tended to be resident European agents of export houses, who felt themselves marooned among a people with barbarous eating habits. The idea soon caught on, however; more restaurants appeared, and harried businessmen abandoned the ancient practice of going home for lunch. From Burrowns, Edwin G., and Mike Wallance.
