...Variables. Shelter debate is almost meaningless, of course, unless tied to a clear set of premises about the character of a nuclear attack. The effectiveness of shelters would depend on the pattern of attack, the size of the bombs, their accuracy, the height of the explosion, weather conditions, and several other variables, all subject to change as U.S. and Soviet technology moves...
...more princes and zamindars (feudal landlords) in Congress than in the Swatantra. Despite the cry that Swatantra is the "millionaires' party," C.R. has been generally unsuccessful in attracting financial support from India's richest corporations. Right-wing businessmen instead contribute generously to Congress, for obvious reasons: they depend on the government for the permits and licenses without which their businesses cannot function or expand. One industrialist, J.R.D. Tata, head of the huge Tata iron and steel combine, has had the courage to give one-third of his campaign contribution to the Swatantra, the rest to Congress. Says Party...
...much tax a Du Pont shareholder will have to pay-and when he pays it-will depend upon the price he paid for his Du Pont stock. If, for example, an investor had paid $400 for his Du Pont shares and now gets $600 worth of G.M. stock, he will have to pay an immediate capital gains tax on the $200 difference. But if he bought his Du Pont shares for, say, $1,000 and now gets $600 worth of G.M. stock, he will pay no tax immediately, but the "cost basis" of his Du Pont shares will drop...
...digestive systems of modern animals, Firsoff explains, depend on hydrolysis, a process in which proteins, sugars and other compounds are broken down in combination with water. Creatures that have ammonia instead of water in their tissues, would digest food by ammonolysis, i.e., by combining it with ammonia. Instead of oxydizing food to liberate energy as earth's animals do, Jovian animals would combine it with nitrogen, and the final product would be cyanogen (CN)2, a gas that is violently poisonous to life on earth. "Jovian animals," says Astronomer Firsoff, "could breathe nitrogen and drink liquid ammonia. Whether they...
Cast of Characters. The McCormack speakership will raise the curtain on a new cast of leading House characters. To get things done, the new Speaker will depend not on such White House favorites as Missouri's Dick Boiling and New Jersey's Frank Thompson, but on McCormack-style Congressmen like Massachusetts' Thomas P. ("Tip") O'Neill Jr. and New York's James J. Delaney, members of the key House Rules Committee, and Massachusetts' Edward P. Boland, who, as the only intimate shared by McCormack and Jack Kennedy's liaison man Larry...
