...search was also drawing to a close. The Air Force, which recovered the three H-bombs that fell on land, had finished scraping 1,500 cu. yds. of contaminated topsoil into steel drums, was preparing to ship them aboard an American freighter to the U.S. for burial in the Aiken, S.C., nuclear-disposal plot. To celebrate an unpleasant job well done, the Air Force brought in a band that tootled prettily as airmen began striking their tent city near Palomares...
Watching TV during the last few weeks, Americans saw the spectacle of a half circle of rumpled men on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee-Chairman William Fulbright peering over his spectacles like a country-store sage, Oregon's Wayne Morse flailing a limp arm, Vermont's George Aiken beaming avuncularly for the cameras-all of them questioning or baiting Administration witnesses and, through the witnesses, Lyndon Johnson.

One typical passage of Heidegger's alleged masterwork, Being and Time, reads: "If the Being of everyday Being-with-one-another is already different in principle from pure presence-at-hand-in spite of the fact that...
Predictably, the interconnection?or grid?system of itself came under fire. Whatever its virtues or failings, Vermont's Republican Senator George Aiken suggested, "we should construct our power system so that if one egg goes rotten, the others won't." Another clear lesson to many experts is that vast, interlocking grids need to be policed more closely. Under existing law, the Federal Power Commission is empowered only to regulate interstate wholesale electric-power rates, issue permits and licenses for hydroelectric power plants, and perform other bookkeeping chores. The power companies themselves decide what lines will be linked together...
