...constitution, to be adopted next year, will decentralize the government and channel its dally managing functions to local "worker self-management bodies." Stular stated this system would and the "masquerade" of formal constitutional democracy and open the way "to the gradual withering of the state...
When we did look behind the curtain reasons for this perfect illusion became evident. The two KLH's stand in the corners of the cellar, about 20 feet apart. (The third-channel speaker is between them, but Bruce tells us it wasn't in use when we were listening.) The curtain hung about five feet from the wall against which the speakers are placed. Helping the Model Sevens out are a pair of trostatic tweeters (of American origin) which Bruce has suspended from ceiling, about six feet from the floor, and tight against the bamboo. Bruce feels this staggered placement...
After exhaustive studies of both tunnel and bridge schemes, the group flatly favored a tunnel to be bored or dredged out of the chalk Channel bed. Plans for the bored tunnel actually call for two large parallel tunnels, each containing a single railway track, plus a small service tunnel. Stretching from Folkestone to Calais, the tunnels would run underwater for 23 miles. Autos and trucks would drive onto flatcars, be whisked through the tunnels at 60 m.p.h. by electric locomotives. Passenger and freight trains would be routed directly through the tunnels, cutting the train time from London to Paris from...
...Great Debate. The relative merits of tunnel and bridge have plunged their proponents into a no-holds-barred debate. Either is technically feasible. Each would cut the cost of a Channel crossing from $32 for a car with three passengers to $22.50, reduce freight charges by 50%. Both would take about five years to build. The tunnel's main advantage is that at an estimated $364 million, it would cost only half as much as the bridge. Moch contends that a tunnel would induce claustrophobia and be a trap in case of an accident. But pro-tunnel people contend...
Neither the British nor French government is as yet committed to either idea. They agreed last week to set up an intergovernmental committee to study the alternatives. As never before, economic realities now lend powerful support to demands for a Channel link. Cross-Channel transport of cars, which had been expected to rise by 30% in the past three years, actually rose 54%; where there were 5,750,000 cross-Channel passengers in 1957, current estimates are that there will be 11,400,000 in 1965. To handle this mounting load by present means, Britain alone would have to spend...
