Since then, other scientists have speculated that this reduced radiation may mean that the nuclear fires at the sun's core are severely banked. Harvard Astrophysicist A.G.W. Cameron and others suspect that the banking effect is caused by a sudden, unexplained mixing of gases in the sun's core, which leads to a brief expansion of the core and a reduction of nuclear reactions. In all, estimates Cameron, it may take some 6,000,000 years for this cycle to run its course-during which the sun's heat and light would be reduced...
...zones with little vegetation were more common. If the banked-fires theory is correct, the relatively cooler recent period, including short-term "ice ages," might indicate that the sun's core is now being mixed, and may return to its normal output in about 4,000,000 years. Cameron estimates that such mixing events may be separated by hundreds of millions of years...
...pest. That modern-age anomaly is the crux of a dispute between the National Audubon Society and Louisiana's Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wild Life. Arguing that a surplus of alligators was eating up such income-producing wildlife as muskrats and waterfowl, Louisiana reopened the swamplands in Cameron Parish to hunters last fall after an eight-year ban. In 13 days, 1,347 alligator hides were turned over to state authorities to be auctioned off to private businessmen. The Audubon Society, which long ago branched out from birds to the protection of all animals, promptly declared open season...
...Alliance and Labour parties have almost equal backing from Catholics and Protestants. Recent Alliance recruits include a number of Ulster's senior political figures, among them Sir Robert Porter, former Minister of Home Affairs, three mayors, five Senators and 70 local councillors. "I came over," explains Senator Millar Cameron, a longtime stalwart of the Protestant-dominated Unionist Party, "partly because I profoundly believe they are doing the right thing for Northern Ireland, partly because it involves the future of my grandchildren and partly because it involves the future of Senator Millar Cameron...
...other athletes have painfully learned, the human knee was not designed by nature to withstand a twisting action (torque) when the leg is held rigid by a cleated shoe planted firmly in soft ground. To orthopedists nothing is more predictable than this "football knee." Houston's Dr. Bruce Cameron reasoned that while players must have cleats to ensure good traction, they need to be released from the fixed stance when they are hit by a block or tackled. So he designed shoes with a cleat plate that rotates in the middle of the sole. The player can pivot...
