...inter-agency panel held a very long and very scary set of hearings which considered the radioactive waste disposal problem in some depth. When the panel finished its hearings, it unanimously recommended that the DOE set up regional low-level waste storage sites. The greatest problem, the panel found, is the risk taken when wastes are shipped clear across the country for burial. About eight months ago, the recommendation was sent to the White House for review. In keeping with a growing tradition, nothing has been done about the DOE study either--President Carter, his aides say, is still making...
Radcliffe has no faculty to maintain, so it doesn't need to worry about the astronomical sums Harvard administrators confront daily, and its governing board doesn't handle the same depth and detail of business as the Corporation, Wolfman says. "The Corporation has a hell of a lot more work to do," Burr says.

The puzzle: how to produce an X-ray image of tissue at any depth within a patient. The result: the CAT (for computerized axial tomography) scanner, a medical marvel now used in hospitals round the world. Last week the two scientists learned that they have something else in common: they will share the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine and its accompanying cash...
