...Dale, 38, does not depend on gymnastics. He is one of the rare per formers whose magnetism rills every cubic inch of the house while his eyes count it. Working from a slapdash adaptation of Moliere's classic farce, Les Fourberies de Scapin, he keeps the evening fresh with the pleasure of his company. For one thing, he is a flirt. He vamps fellow actors even as they trade invectives. But the audience gets his most collusive winks and slanted asides...
Selikoff's work has attracted the interest of labor unions, which have begun to demand large-scale control of asbestos contamination. At the same time a federal agency, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, has set a limit of five fibers per cubic centimeter of air that will be reduced further to two fibers in 1976. The regulation is forcing some smaller industries to close down their asbestos-incorporating operations, while others are coming slowly into compliance with federal and state regulations. But control is no easy matter. More than one million tons of the mineral are imported into...
...project is part of the Atomic Energy Commission's Plowshare program and seemed like a promising peaceful use of nuclear energy. It calls for exploding small atomic bombs deep beneath the earth's surface to release trillions of cubic feet of natural gas trapped in subterranean rock formations. Now, after the latest in a series of test explosions in New Mexico and Colorado, AEC officials may be forced to acknowledge what some scientists predicted from the start: nuclear blasting for gas is neither economical nor practical...
...grand cataclysm. As its nuclear fires begin to burn out, the stellar gases, no longer supported by heat and radiation, begin falling toward the star's core. Moving at tremendous velocities, they crush together, forming a sphere only two or three miles across, so dense that each cubic inch of material weighs trillions of tons. The small sphere has a gravitational field so strong that no radiation -even light-can escape from what has become a totally invisible "black hole...
...month beneath the Colorado surface. Set off simultaneously by the Atomic Energy Commission, they will release a combined explosive force of 60 kilotons. The underground spectacular is part of an ambitious program of at least 140 subterranean nuclear explosions that are designed to release some of the 300 trillion cubic feet of natural gas far beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountain states. But the program faces heated opposition. Citizens, politicians and scientists all fear that the blasts will release not only natural gas but lethal radiation as well...
