...beams simultaneously hit the pellet, which is smaller than a grain of sand, the temperature of the pellet's outer surface will be raised to 100 million degrees, causing it to vaporize explosively. Just as a rocket is pushed forward by its tail exhaust, the vaporizing surface would exert a force inward, compressing the pellet to a density 20 times that of lead and forcing the nuclei to fuse. In the fusion power plant of the future, Livermore scientists say, larger pellets will be blasted, one after another, producing successive bursts of energy...
...analysis which have not previously been taken into account. Many advocates of a women's studies program claim that most of what is taught at Harvard today is "men's studies," and this is true to the extent that facts about women and the different types of influence they exert have been left out of most traditional scholarship, which uses the male as a standard model for evaluation. New and important aspects of "women's studies" include feminist literary criticism; history and government courses which examine women's role in politics, the family, and social revolutions; and post-Freudian psychology...
...capacity of Black elites to exert such influence is premised on the degree and quality of Black students' interactions with their white student peers here at Harvard College and elsewhere. Black students with ethnocentric identities fail to grasp the salience of these interactions to the future capacity of Black elites to get American power structures to fulfill their obligations to the Black poor--namely, to bring the Black poor to parity in average standard of living available in our affluent country. No doubt some contribution to the future leadership capacity of Black students is available through the kind of neighborhood...

And the new representative will wield the influence that comes with being part of the powerful Boston delegation...
...abound over the true extent of the problem, but almost everyone agrees that, despite phony supply-side arguments to the contrary, an increasing national debt fuels both high interest rates and an overvalued dollar. Aside from the fact that mortgage financing and business investments remain prohibitively expensive and will exert an increasing drag on the current recovery, high rates force the government to devote more and more taxpayer money to paying interest on the debt, thereby removing these funds from more productive uses. Furthermore, the major threat stemming from an overvalued dollar is that it makes American exports relatively expensive...
