...Nevada site for the Mohave project was selected because 1) there are no antismog regulations out on the desert, 2) the Colorado River is an ideal source of the water required by the plant, and 3) the desert land is central to the areas it will serve. selection of coal, rather than gas-oil or nuclear energy to fuel the Mohave power plant, was determined by the simple economics of electric-power production. Coal-generated power costs about 60% as much as that produced by a new nuclear plant, and at least 10% less than gas-oil generation. Moreover...
...Completely Unacceptable." Forthe foreseeable future, that is a losing bet. For one thing, most of the world's governments and central banks are against a gold price increase.

With this issue unresolved, no one can be certain of Nigeria's fate. The negotiated agreements have deterred the East's immediate secession. But there is still no certainty that the Ibos will be willing to settle for anything but the loose confederation of states that they have wanted all along...
...balance of opinion to those advocates of extension of parietals negating the heretofore previous situation which is outlined above, which appears the only noteworthy element in a controversy composed of those elements whose social interest lies not so much in their immediate appeal, or their poignant arousal of those central emotions or basic human dignities that are evident in reading a newspaper but rather in duller things, that prompts us to submit the kernel of comment which was brought to mind by a view in print of the exhibition of certain young ladies aggressively antagonizing and hostile to their opponents...
