...record on liberty of some Third World socialists is no better than that of the Marxist-Leninists. Tanzania's prisons contain about 1,500 opponents of Nyerere's regime. Mozambique's socialist rulers have herded up to 10,000 "undesirables," including political dissidents, into primitive "reeducation camps." Iraq's xenophobic Baathist socialists have not held national elections since they came to power in 1968, and any critic of the Ahmed Hassan Bakr regime is quickly arrested by the Soviet-trained secret police...
Using life insurance statistics showing that for every pound of excess weight there is a loss in life expectancy of one month, Cohen went on to estimate the consequences of drinking cans or bottles of ordinary soda pop (which contain about 100 calories, v. no calories for the diet soda). The results of all these comparative calculations were decidedly in favor of the saccharin-spiked drinks. Says Cohen: "If all other things were unchanged, the substitution of diet for nondiet drinks would increase life expectancy by 100 times more than the cancer risk reduced...
...Harvard's fight is hardly over. The Washington rumor-mills indicate that a new bill, soon to be introduced to the Senate by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy '54 (D-Mass.), will not contain a federal preemption clause. And so it looks like Harvard's lobbying experts will have to gear up for even more aggressive efforts...
...been as big as a football field, would have been powered by steam, and would have sounded as noisy as a boiler factory. Yet the same principles underlying the clangorous computations it would have made can be found in today's silent electronic wiz ards, all of which contain five basic sections...
Back in the ovens, the wafers are baked again in an atmosphere of gases loaded with "dopants." Like oil stains in a concrete driveway, these impurities soak into the underlying silicon. Since chips usually contain as many as ten layers, all these steps-"rusting," photomasking, etching, baking, etc.-must be repeated for each layer. Then the entire wafer is coated with an aluminum conductor, which also must be masked, etched and bathed in acid. Finally, an eagle-eyed computerized probe scans the wafer for defective circuitry and marks the bad chips in red. The wafer is then separated...
