...current models could contaminate up to 150,000 square miles of land, kill 3,400 people outright, cause 55,000 premature cancer deaths, and force evacuation of 450,000 people for over one year. An additional 4 million might have to be kept under close surveillance. Damage could exceed $7 billion. Such a peace-time, man-made catastrophe boggles the imagination. And physicist-writer Dr. Ralph Lapp has said he feels "Before the year 2000 it would appear a certainty that we will have a serious accident...
...population directly exposed to 2,4,5-T presumably does not exceed five per cent (and may even be one per cent or less) of the total population of Vietnam, although this must be more accurately determined from precise spray data. This factor alone strikingly dilutes any apparent effects of the spraying on birth statistics when those directly exposed are added to the total statistics of the country, but this effect is even more accentuated by the fact that most of this population is necessarily in remote and usually insecure areas and therefore information regarding medical effects...

By amending requirements that tend to exclude less professional participants and ordering antidiscrimination standards, the committee hopes to gather more blacks, women and the young into the party process.

The Daily Telegraph: "Nauseating"; France-Soir: "A great farce"; Le Figaro: "Un long gag." Women's Wear Daily, once Yves's leading fan, called his work "poor" and urged him to "shake off the weirdo and kooky influences." Others blamed Good...
...million; by last November it had concluded that the cost of building them would be more than twice that. It asked the British government for help and got some loans, but not enough. Last week Rolls declared itself virtually broke and estimated that losses on the contract could exceed its entire tangible net worth of $456 million. After a series of emergency Cabinet meetings at 10 Downing Street, the British government decided to let shareholders appoint a receiver for Rolls. To its extreme embarrassment, the Tory government intends to introduce legislation this week that would nationalize all of Rolls except...
