...weld the nuclei of hydrogen atoms, releasing bursts of energy at temperatures exceeding those at the center of the sun. Should they succeed in harnessing nuclear fusion, they could point the way toward a limitless supply of cheap, clean power. "Once we crack the problem of fusion," says John Emmett, associate director for lasers at Livermore, "we have an assured source of energy for as long as you want to think about it. It will cease to be a reason for war or an influence on foreign affairs...
...serious roles, Lemmon often turns his best instincts upside down. His gestures seem stranded between media: too intimate for the stage, too ostentatiously cunning for the screen. His Emmett Kelly face sags under the weight of compromise, drains of life, wears anguish like a Distinguished Service Cross. These roles inevitably win Lemmon Oscar nominations (three in the past five years), but this time he might even deserve one.

...tractors, brand-named Big Bud 525 and Steiger Panther, pushed 60-ft.-wide chisel plows into the gentle prairie around the hamlet of Winnett, Mont., quickly transforming what once was Wayne Bratten's 28,000-acre ranch into a raw wound of overturned earth.

In recent years, tractors have bulldozed some 6.4 million acres of marginal grasslands in Montana and Colorado...
...squeezed farmers had cut back on purchases of new equipment even before this year, leaving manufacturers and dealers with huge inventories. The DOA projects that PIK will reduce spending for purchases and repair of tractors, combines and other machinery by an additional 8% this year, to $18.2 billion. Says Emmett Barker, president of the Chicago-based Farm & Industrial Equipment Institute, a trade group: "The size of the acreage cutback can't help but be disastrous to many businesses. There is no way that you can take 6 million acres out of cultivation in Iowa, for example, and expect everyone...
...match wasn't a total wipe-out for the Crimson. Chet Nastala, who was two under par on the back nine holes, shot an outstanding 73, one under par for the course. Nichols shot a 78, Mosle a 79 and Steve Baker and Emmett O'Donnell each finished at 80. MIT's seventh player proved to be the deciding factor, shooting a surprising...
