Extracting the wealth of Siberia is a matter not just of money and machinery, of course, but also of people, and the cruelty of life in the Arctic area is enough to deter many. Siberia boosters used to claim that the population would climb from its present 25 million to about 60 million by the year 2000; the current rate of growth is unlikely to produce more than about half that number. All Siberian workers, from a waitress in Yakutsk to a drilling engineer at Nadym, get "northern bonuses" that double and triple Moscow wage rates, but the labor turnover...
Such criticism is not likely to deter the Teamsters. After years of being shunned as the pariah of organized labor, the Teamsters have nourished an ardent romance with the Nixon Administration that has given them a new measure of respectability and influence. An unbridled push for expansion has brought the union more than 2,000,000 members, making it the largest in the non-Communist world. What worries Meany and other labor leaders is that much of the Teamsters' growing strength is coming from raids on AFL-CIO unions...
Castaneda's penchant for privacy did not deter Correspondent Sandra Burton from unraveling some of the mysteries about the author. Burton met her subject repeatedly-at U.C.L.A.'s anthropology department, over dinner at a Japanese restaurant and at a "power spot" in the rugged canyons north of Los Angeles...
...also far more elaborate than that set up by the Geneva agreements. For the first 60 days of the ceasefire, a 3,000-man military commission, composed of representatives from all four signatories to the treaty, will be deployed across the country, ready to deter and detect violations and to act as a forum for settling differences. The ICC will report any infractions it discovers to the commission, and vice versa. After 60 days, the U.S. and North Viet Nam will withdraw from the four-party commission, leaving a permanent military commission made up equally of South Vietnamese and Provisional...
That statistic did not deter Astronomer Peter van de Kamp of Swarthmore (Pa.) College's Sproul Observatory. In the late 1960s, after years of patient observation, he provided what seems to be the first evidence of planets beyond the solar system: two large Saturn-size bodies circling Barnard's Star, which is 5.9 light-years from earth. Now van de Kamp has announced a discovery that may be still more significant. At a meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Las Cruces, N. Mex., he reported finding another unseen body orbiting the star Epsilon Eridani, 10.7 light-years...
