Most heartening to conservationists was the commission's condemnation of Consolidated Edison's plan for a huge hydroelectric power plant at the base of brooding Storm King Mountain, at the famed north gate to the majestic Hudson Highlands.* Governor Rockefeller, who had earlier supported the $162 million Con Ed project, backed off after his brother criticized it, said that "if another solution can be found, it should be." The commission chided local government for failure to request federal beautification and urban-renewal money, noted that the latter could open up rotting waterfronts and create little "fishermen...
...ITALY, Montecatini and the Edison Group have combined to control 62% of Italian plastics and synthetic fibers. Italy's biggest sugar company, Eridania, is acquiring Saccarifera Lombarda, which itself recently absorbed the Bonora sugar company...
...CRIMSON deserves praise for recognizing the significance of the U.S. Court of Appeals decision on the proposed Con Edison Power Plant. However, the comments by Mr. Hugh M. Raup, who was "following the legal battle with interest," deserve some clarification. Throughout the legal battle to block the power plant, the lack of a strong position from Harvard University, which owns the property, has been noticeable. Has Mr. Raup given the Con Edison proposal the careful study it demands if its full implications are to be understood? Has Mr. Raup spent much time in the Harvard Black Rock Forest...
...resident of the area, the comment that the "230 acres would not significantly affect the 2700 acre forest" indicates a superficial knowledge of the forest. Contrary to Mr. Raup's opinion, the area to be taken over by Con Edison is of drastic significance to the woodland. The face of Storm King Mountain, White Horse Mountain, and considerable acreage in the Black Rock area were to be sacrificed for a "reservoir." The term reservoir is used only in connection with pure water, but in fact the water will be saline and polluted. Furthermore, Con Edison itself admits that it could...
When Thomas Edison Miyawaki applied for a teaching assistanceship at the University of California's San Francisco Medical Center in September 1964, he had what its officials considered "a very excellent record." Indeed it was. According to his transcripts, Hawaiian-born Miyawaki had a science degree from Johns Hopkins (Phi Beta Kappa, and all A's and B's), an M.D. from Columbia University. He also claimed two years of internship and residency at Boston's Massachusetts General Hospital. Naturally, California gave him the assistanceship, along with a salary of $304 a month...
