...water in most reactors) keeps flowing around the reactor core, it carries heat away, and the temperature stays under control. If the coolant is lost, the core begins to overheat, like a car with a broken radiator. The chain reaction promptly ceases because rising temperatures cause the fuel to expand, which increases the distances between individual atoms and makes it less likely that the neutrons emitted by one will hit the nucleus of another. But the spontaneous radioactive decay of nuclei goes on. The uncooled reactor core could eventually get hot enough to melt through its casing and the surrounding...
Although the panel rejected any efforts to expand the legal definition of obscenity (which the Supreme Court has declared depends partly on the "community standards" of each locality), it did call for the enactment of federal laws to make it easier to seize the assets of those involved in the trade.

...part, CGE has long wanted to expand. Last December CGE seemed to have concluded a joint venture with AT&T and its Dutch partner, Philips. In that deal, AT&T-Philips would have taken over 16% of France's telephone network in return for helping a CGE subsidiary, Alcatel, market telephone equipment in the U.S. The French government, however, failed to approve that agreement, and could block the ITT deal. But if France consents to the sale, CGE will become a sort of pan-European counterweight to AT&T. Says one journalist from the French newspaper Le Figaro: "This could...
