...have no ceiling fan, then how about a Dove-Tech corn-burning stove? It's too early to tell for certain how well this really works -- only 4,000 have been sold so far -- but it sure seems to solve a lot of problems: the energy crisis (we're the Saudi Arabia of corn), the pollution crisis (the kernels burn far cleaner than wood, coal or oil), the farm crisis (Dove-Tech will even burn moldy surplus), the trade deficit (American corn, not imported oil), the deforestation crisis (chop corn, not trees), the safety crisis (corn isn't dangerous...
...breakthrough idea was the recognition that the fuel would burn more efficiently if it was compressed before it was heated. According to Bethe, Ulam approached Teller with a two-stage H-bomb design that used the shock waves from an A-bomb to compact the hydrogen and ignite the H-bomb. Teller adapted Ulam's design, using the energy of the A-bomb's radiation rather than the force of its shock waves to achieve the necessary compression. It was a bomb of this design, code named Mike, that exploded on Nov. 1, 1952, on the Pacific island of Elugelab...

...StairMaster introduced the 4000 PT, which was simpler to use. Exercisers push a pair of bicycle-like pedals that move up and down instead of in circles, and a computerized screen gives such data as the number of "flights" climbed and the "distance" traveled. Fans say they can burn off 10% more calories on stair machines than on stationary bicycles, and the step climbers are easier on the feet and legs than treadmills...
...religious fundamentalists will. In this case, prepare for the '80s to be labeled the Decade of Satan. After all, Satan did force Jim Bakker into that motel room, and Jimmy Swaggert into that car. Satan made the Supreme Court rule against school prayer and for the right to flag-burn. And Satan did lure Don Johnson into a singing career...
