...plant's construction design made the project vulnerable to controversy from the start because the power company planned to cool its twin 1,150-megawatt nuclear reactors by drawing sea water from three miles offshore through a 19-ft.-diameter tunnel, and returning the water, 39° F. hotter, to the ocean. The issue was supposed to have been settled in 1974, when the Environmental Protection Agency required that all new nuclear plants use concrete cooling towers, which dissipate the heat through evaporation and may cost more than $60 million...
...possible. There is no intention, for the moment, of submitting a U.S. "plan," although some State Department officials privately concede that floating a last-ditch American sketch might prove more palatable than reverting to yet another call for a Geneva parley. Washington also wants to persuade both sides to cool their public rhetoric and explore the possibilities of working through more private channels.

With the match tied at five games each, Evert's seeing-eye baseline shots suddenly went blind. Three forehands and a backhand went out of court, and Evert lost her serve. It was she, not the temperamental Czech, who had cracked: Evert won just 1 point in the last three games. Martina Navratilova became the new champion of women...
...Among jugular reveries and cyclonic voyages to the end of the night, it is the love songs that stand out. Dylan sings them in a variety of moods: surly wit ("Do you love me/ Or are you just extending good will?"); sidelong irony ("Betrayed by a kiss/ On a cool night of bliss/ In the valley of the missing link"); even a certain smarmy desperation ("I'm lost in the haze of your delicate ways"). In live appearances, Dylan has lately converted himself into a sardonic showman, tossing around patter between numbers, glad-handing the audience, carrying...
