Reason for the surge in nuclear-power plant construction: they are finally becoming competitive with natural gas and coal. While the original atomic-power plants generated 60,000 kilowatts at a cost of eight mills per kilowatt-hour-v. four mills for power from coal and gas installations-new million-kilowatt plants may even undercut the costs of conventional electricity. Each of the Tennessee Valley Authority's two new 1,065,000 kilowatt private nuclear-power plants, to be built at Brown's Ferry, Ala., is expected to produce electricity at a cost of only 31 mills...
...Weimar Republic coalition. Now that they have the responsibility of government, things look different than when they merely opposed. The unions accuse them of acting like reactionaries-of dismantling the German welfare system because they voted to impose small prescription and health-insurance fees on pensioners, of sabotaging the coal-mining Ruhr because they refuse to block U.S. oil imports, and of giving aid and comfort to capitalists because Socialist Economics Minister Karl Schiller has pumped government spending into industry instead of giving bigger unemployment benefits to workers. The discontent has grown so great that it has threatened to undercut...
Reverse Drain. Spurring them onward is an economic resurgence that is freeing Scotland from past dependence on shipbuilding, coal and steel and catapulting it into the industries of tomorrow. Thanks to government pump priming and incentives for private investment, almost $1 billion in capital has flowed in since World War II, and Scotland has outpaced the rest of Britain in its industrial growth rate for three years. In Fife, for example, U.S. and British electronics manufacturers have built more than 100 new factories in a California-type complex along the Firth of Forth. Today Scotland turns out more electronic computers...
Irresistible & Immovable. A Presbyterian liberal arts school in Waynesburg, Pa., a coal-mining community 25 miles north of the West Virginia border, Waynesburg College has a tiny, 65-acre campus and a total enrollment of 1,125-399 of them coeds. Also coeducational, also Presbyterian, and only slightly larger (1,366 undergraduates), Westminster is located in New Wilmington, Pa., a farm town of cobblestoned streets and a single stoplight. Neither college tries to compete with the big-time football foundries in recruiting high-school stars; neither pampers its athletes with snap courses or "laundry money." "We give no outright scholarships...
That attraction didn't take hold in The Times They are A-Changin'. Dylan's songs hadn't broken out of the coal mines ("Hollis Brown"), the transatlantic love ("Boots of Spanish Leather"), the simple, indignant protests (Medgar Evers's death). Although there was a diamond highway with nobody on it, he held to the crowded folk road, the old-style rambling around. On the back of the album, however, in "11 Outlined Epitaphs" he announced the passing of that earlier Bob Dylan. Guthrie was dead. Dylan was free, "without ghosts/by my side/ t betray my childishness/ t leadeth...
