...determined Agnew, meanwhile, continued to show every outward sign of confidence that he will survive his crisis. At a local Republican rally in St. Charles, Ill., he assailed what he termed "the morbid preoccupation with Watergate" and claimed that one "insidious byproduct of the affair" is that there is now a "persecutorial atmosphere hanging over the American political system." The implication seemed to be that he considers himself one of the persecuted...
...breeder, a name derived from its unique capability: during the chain reaction, surplus neutrons from the atoms of U-235 in its core bombard a surrounding blanket of U-238, a much more plentiful but nonfissionable form of uranium, and transmute large amounts of it into plutonium. This fissionable byproduct can then be used as a fuel in other breeders. Thus breeders should be able to stretch existing uranium supplies for several centuries. One big drawback: the fission wastes are highly radioactive and extremely difficult to store...
...recordings. The product supports Ross, who offers a sensitive interpretation of Holliday which shows that she went beyond a superficial investigation of Lady Day's personality. For instance, Holliday was well know for being languid, but Ross plays her as a normally vivacious woman whose lethargy is a byproduct of an addiction to heroin.

This is not due to her singing (she altered her style to sound remarkably similar to Lady Day) but nonetheless, she remains Diana Ross playing a role...
...capitalistic U.S. market. They got themselves out of a serious grain shortage at bargain prices. The U.S., in return, found a new market for its grain, which will help decrease its balance of payments deficit. Most wheat farmers should benefit in the long run from the higher prices. One byproduct of the wheat and corn sales to the Russians, however, is that they will feed inflation in the U.S., particularly in pressures on the price of bread, pork and beef...
...course it isn't just the recognition; it's the money. Yorkin and Lear's profits from their three shows this year could reach $5,000,000, not counting the take from books, records and other byproduct merchandising. With offers of further projects pouring in, their Tandem headquarters is the hottest TV production office in Hollywood. So busy are the partners nowadays that they rarely get a chance to be in the office. They run the business by remote control, communicating with each other by memo. Occasionally they rendezvous for a quick huddle in the parking...
