...away from the murder sites and slip into the dark. "I ran like hell." He revisited at least two of the scenes of his crimes and tried to find the grave of his first victim, Donna Lauria, 18, whom he had not known but for whom he seemed to develop a posthumous affection...
...senior White House energy expert puts it: "The new department is a curious kind of hybrid." Among other things, it inherits the entire Federal Energy Administration, the Federal Power Commission, the Energy Research and Development Administration and some 50 functions now performed by other agencies throughout the federal bureaucracy. It has a management responsibility, including the huge Bonneville dam project, a weapons research-and-development complex stemming from the old Atomic Energy Commission, and a huge research-and-development program that explores energy sources from wind to thermonuclear fusion. The new department will also create some new sections, notably...
...Liberian-flag freighter. Further, critics say the bill is protectionist special-interest legislation, antagonistic to free trade and potentially disruptive to U.S. treaty relations with perhaps 30 other nations.

He wants to ban the sale of conventional arms to a country if the purchase would mean introducing new technology into...
Aiming to develop their own "number crunchers," as the fast new U.S. machines are called, Moscow is designing a large computer, specified the BESM-10. Supposedly, it will be capable of 15 million operations per second. But although it is supposed to come into use this year, it has not appeared so far, and some Western experts wonder whether the BESM-10 has run into problems. If so, the Cyber 76 could conceivably be used to help solve them. Says Szuprowicz: "It is very difficult to believe they would not get some helpful ideas from Cyber 76 once they...
