Brown, who is perhaps the nation's most visible advocate of alternate energy sources, may soon face the embarrassment of presiding over the arrests of scores of antinuclear protesters. They are planning a demonstration against the as-yet-unscheduled opening of the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant near Avila Beach, some 60 miles north of Santa Barbara.

...complacency born of three decades of peace and prosperity, but across Europe today an antimilitaristic mood is spreading through the body of public opinion, this time under the shadow of a growing Soviet arsenal. From Amsterdam to Bonn to London to Rome, marchers with BAN THE BOMB banners and antinuclear badges are loudly protesting attempts to reinforce Europe's nuclear deterrent forces.
