...preliminary step toward rehabilitation. Of course barriers to reform go far beyond the limitations of buildings. It is ironic that only in Mississippi are married convicts allowed conjugal visits with their wives; sexual deprivation in other American prisons incites riots, mental illness and homosexuality. By using strong inmates to control the weak, authoritarian officials create an inmate culture that forces prisoners to "do your own time"-trust no one, freeze your mind, be indifferent. Roughly 80% of adult inmates need psychiatric help. But illtrained, ill-paid guards are so concerned with security that treatment staffs can barely function. All American...

In tidal zones, limpets and other browsing creatures that keep shore lines free of decayed material and control the growth of seaweed were decimated. As a result, portions of the Cornwall coast are overgrown with seaweed this year...

When the overhead ro tor reaches 520 r.p.m., the pilot pushes a button to disengage the rotor and change its blade pitch from...
...Ways.

The J-2's rotor is stronger but also lighter and smaller than previous rotors, enabling it to be run up to speed faster. When heavier rotors used in the 1930s were al lowed to slow down, their inertia prevented them from being revved up quickly, causing control problems...
...vote of 20 to 9, sent along legislation to the Governor that Jan. 1, 1970, will allow that state to banish all billboards from its roads both big and small, except for signs on property owned by the advertiser. Vermont thus became only the second state to legislate comprehensive control over billboards. The other: Hawaii which has banned them since 1927 when the state was still a territory...
