Every year, 20,000 or more Americans develop a kind of kidney disease that is perfectly controllable if the patient can be regularly hooked to a machine that can take over the kidney's work. Yet the machines are scarce, and of the deserving victims only 1,400 get the treatment, a figure that inevitably leads to hand-wringing tales of doctors and hospital administrators who must play God, deciding which kidney patients to save and which...
Defending the Administration's decision, Clifford underscored Sentinel's real value-as a deterrent to further Soviet moves in the ABM field. "If they [the Soviets] develop and deploy a workable ABM system and we do not," he declared, "we are at a disadvantage." His logic made an impact. By a 52-to-34 vote, the Senate defeated a move to eliminate funds for Sentinel from the defense budget...
...save-the-bay movement came to a head when a corporation called West-bay Community Associates announced plans to develop a residential-commercial-recreational complex along 27 miles of presently submerged bayshore south of San Francisco.

Apprentice Intellectuals. Thus it was no surprise that this spring's revolt first erupted on the new suburban University campus of Nanterre, seven miles northwest of Paris. There, 12,000 students were able to develop the spirit of solidarity that is vital to revolution. Nor was it surprising that Nanterre's enrages (furious ones), as they soon came to be called, were bothered less by their physical than by their academic hardships. As apprentice intellectuals in a country dominated by intellectual tradition, they were deeply dismayed by the content and direction of their stud ies. And by extension...
...took 20 years and $75 million to develop (compared with $27 million for nylon). Thus it was no wonder that the security at Du Font's Chattanooga, Tenn., pilot plant took on Pentagon proportions. To the trade, it was known simply as "Fiber Y." Even at the press preview, Du Pont took no chances of leaking the process before it hits the market at year's end. Six models wearing Qiana garments were escorted by armed guards to prevent any overanxious competitor from the common practice of snipping a sample swatch...
