...pressure-cooker-like reactor vessel, the core is filled with pellets of fissionable uranium packed in bundles of thin cylindrical zircaloy rods. Inserted into the core are still other rods, usually made of cadmium or boron, which absorb and retain neutrons given off by the uranium atoms-in effect, stopping the billiards and regulating the intensity of the reaction. To start the reactor, the control rods are raised to precisely calculated levels. The chain reaction begins, converting mass into energy and producing great quantities of heat in the process. That raises the temperature of the water surrounding the core...
...statement then deals with the question of the support of corporate withdrawal from South Africa, which he says would have little effect on apartheid and probably would not set off a chain reaction among institutions supporting withdrawals...
...deficits. As if that was not bad enough, Wagner's collateral for the loans was Bond Anticipation Notes (statements of what the mayor expected to collect in taxes) based on the mayor's own estimate of the next year's revenues, rather than on last year's revenues. The effect of this practice, continued under subsequent administrations, allowed mayors to anticipate much more revenue than they knew the city would receive, so they could keep borrowing. Predictably, short-term debt rose from $526 million in 1965 to an astounding $4.5 billion in 1975. Now, of every dollar the city collects...
Cutting back on government spending may not make economic sense for other reasons. It is highly possible that the principal effect of a balanced budget--a recession of aggregate demand--would serve only to decrease investment in the U.S., as recessions historically do, without lowering the world or domestic rate of inflation permanently or appreciably. Any decline in social services for education is also a decrease in investment in human capital. The further deterioration of the established cities of the northeast will bring economic costs in policing, replacing, or repairing them, to say nothing of the potential waste in people...
...turned out to be top members of the Chinese Establishment: Vice Premier Deng Xiaoping (Teng Hsiao-p'ing), Foreign Minister Huang Hua, Vice Premier Fang Yi and Mme. Sun Yatsen, who is in her late 80s. During the intermission, Deng held a reception at which he said in effect that he did not know much about music but he knew what he liked: anything that promoted friendship. After the concert, he led his tea party to the stage and shook hands with orchestra members...
