...blood clot, but with a clot the problem is how to make it and how to keep it from traveling and causing still more brain damage. Dr. Mullan and fellow workers noted that not only does electricity promote clotting, but also, unaccountably, so does a piece of copper, cadmium or beryllium, even without an electric current to help the process...
Come Home Again. A year ago, when he fled to Spain in exile, Tshombe was Moses the Hated. As the leader of copper-rich Katanga province's abortive secession, finally crushed by the U.N., he had been damned as a traitor to African nationalism and a stooge of the Belgians. But last week the stooge was being praised as a possible savior. In the chaotic Congo, that made as much sense as anything else...

Justice Department lawyers believe that the decision will help win similar cases against Kaiser Aluminum, which hopes to acquire U.S. Rubber's aluminum fabricating plant, and Kennecott Copper, which intends to merge with the cable-making Okonite...
Sculpture must defy gravity, says Alberto Collie, and by using magnets he performs feats of levitation with objects made of aluminum, copper and magnesium.

The effect is playful and magical-rather like Collie himself, who combines the hot-eyed zeal of a young Merlin with the twinkle-eyed grin of a boy with a toy.

But because of high development costs, great distances from markets and erratic transportation, they have exploited that country less than the U.S. Some recent changes now make the effort and expense worthwhile. World prices of copper, lead and zinc have jumped because of political unrest in Chile and Africa. This year also, prospectors struck oil in Alberta, gas in British Columbia and nickel in Manitoba. Geologists estimate the value of the Timmins find at $1 billion, and many of them believe it ultimately will return much...
