Faculty and graduate students, as well as outside professionals, have volunteered to speak and answer questions at the conference. Although organizers expect over 500 people, Star said, its approach will be as individual as we can muster...
...cannot expect the federal government to help control the menace of nuclear power. Although President Carter ran on a platform of using nuclear energy as a last resort, as soon as he assumed office he began to argue that rapid development of nuclear power was our only way out of the energy crisis. Under his administration, the government has blatantly promoted the nuclear industry instead of regulating it. After taking a seemingly strong stand against the Clinch River experimental breeder reactor, Carter proposed that Congress explore the possibility of alternative breeders. Predictably, Congress voted to appropriate funds...
HAROLD BROWN did not say anything of importance in his speech last Monday night, nor did anyone expect him to. His SALT talk resembled more than anything else a hastily prepared--and poorly edited--press release.

"There's quite a few guys working their butts off and not making any money," says Burns...
Both sides are girding for an absurdly early first battle in Florida. On Oct. 13, Democratic county caucuses will pick delegates to a state convention on Nov. 18, when a straw vote will be taken on the presidency. The Kennedy forces do not expect to win the straw vote, which has no official standing, because nearly half the dele gates will be chosen by party regulars loyal to Carter. But Kennedy would like to come out ahead in the caucus selection, which would be a blow to Carter in a state where the President is still popular...
