Violence can be construed as the "essence" of hockey only in the sense that it is the attraction for the multitude who do not appreciate. To the true fan, violence is simply an inherent and (to an extent) controllable byproduct of this highly charged game in which emotion often gets the better of one's social graces...
...PLUTONIUM CONNECTION (PBS NOVA Series, March 9, 7:30 p.m. E.D.T.). It is no secret that ounces of plutonium-a byproduct of nuclear power reactors-could be used to produce a homemade atom bomb. To demonstrate that possibility NOVA commissioned a 20-year-old undergraduate chemistry student to try to design an A-bomb in five weeks, working alone and using only published information available to the general public. The result: a blueprint for a plutonium bomb with an estimated destructive capability of 100 to 1,000 tons of TNT. The student (portrayed by Actor John Holecek) describes the ease...
...sight has been missing from Gary, Ind. For the first time in years, there is no miasma of smoke over U.S. Steel's Open Hearth Mill No. 4-a complex of ten 65-year-old furnaces that annually produce 960,000 tons of steel and, as an unwelcome byproduct, 2,700 tons of airborne grit. Because it claims that it cannot curb the fumes right now, the company has shut down the mill. The decision could cost 2,500 employees their jobs in a city with an unemployment rate already approaching...
...textblocks and many illustrations, plus graceful historical essays, Editor and Popular Historian Richard Ketchum creates a sound and extraordinarily detailed portrait of the man and his times during the years when Washington evolved from prosperous Virginia planter to Revolutionary general to President of the newly established republic. A Bicentennial byproduct of notable quality, the book manages to make this monument human, while reassuringly confirming the traditional view that the Colonies were perfectly right in letting George...
Mostly, though, the threat of V.L.C.C.s is a byproduct of the high value and the potential deadliness of what they carry. A company owning a supertanker can makeas much as $4 million profit on one run from Kuwait to Europe. But theship costs up to $50,000 a day to run-including insurance. A typical voyage lasts about 75 days, only five of which are spent in the stormy waters below Capetown. It is easy to see, therefore, why, at the urging of the owners, IMCO, a special U.N. maritime agency, by 1966 agreed to allow overloading for the whole...
