...election committee in Washington, where it was stashed in a safe in Stans' office. The four drafts later turned up in the Miami bank accounts of Bernard Barker, one of the seven men accused of bugging Watergate. Of the remaining money in the Stans safe, $350,000 was deposited in a Washington bank with the notation on a deposit slip: "Cash on hand to 4/7/72 from 1968 campaign." Stans later admitted to investigators that the notation was phony; the money had been collected more recently. The General Accounting Office searched unsuccessfully for the legally required record of expenditures from this...
Butcher's promotion is an effort to bring fresh drive and decisiveness to Chase, which in recent years has been elbowed out of first place in deposits and earnings in New York City by First National City Bank. While Chase has emphasized services to corporations and other banks, "Citibank" has focused on the faster-growing international and retail business. To attract deposit and loan business from individuals and medium-sized companies, Citibank has generally done a better job than Chase in mortgage banking and other areas, like helping clients to arrange leases on almost anything from the biggest jetliner...

...when-could this extraordinary event have occurred? Using both hard information and informed guesswork, Perrin and his associates evolved an imaginative but logical hypothesis. The scientists knew that the concentration of U-235 found in contemporary uranium deposits is too low to sustain a chain reaction. But they were also aware that radioactive U-235 decays at a known rate, and that 1.7 billion years ago-the approximate age of the Oklo deposit -U-235 made up 3% of raw uranium deposits. This is roughly the same concentration that is created in artificially enriched uranium fuels and thus is enough...
Perrin suspects that water, filtering down through the Oklo deposit, became an accessory to the chain reaction. Acting as a "moderator," subsurface water slowed down the neutrons emerging from splitting U-235 atoms enough to allow them to hit and split the nuclei of other U-235 atoms. (Without a moderator, the neutrons escape from the uranium fuel too fast to sustain the reaction.) When the heat from this process became too intense, scientists believe, the water turned to steam, the neutrons speeded up, and the chain reaction halted until the uranium cooled sufficiently for the steam to condense back...
