...government last week bravely decreed new 9 to 4:30 working hours, with only a 30-minute break for lunch, for government employees and large private corporations in the nation's ten biggest cities. Unfortunately, most downtown areas were woefully short of lunch counters or cafeterias to feed the hungry hordes, but most Chileans, for the present at least, seemed disposed to bring lunch in a paper bag, or wait in line. "It is rather expensive," moaned Jorge Soto, a government clerk who earns $53 a month. "I have to pay 600 for a one-course meal, and this...
With B.C. pressing its power play, Ben smith passed long to Miller behind the single defense and the senior wing faked not goalie Jeff Cohen on a clean break-way. One minute later, McCullough took dandy feed from Kent Parrot and scored whom eight feet...
Matter of Cash. At the root of the Filipino dilemma is the age-old Asian problem of too many people, too little food. Population is growing by a million a year, and some 360,000 youngsters enter the labor market annually, only to find jobs largely lacking. To feed this fecund people, Marcos must produce 4,600,000 tons of palay (unhusked rice) in the coming year; even at that he will have to import 600,000 tons-at a cost of $65 million...
...road's opening in 1960, some 600,000 settlers have poured into the area to tap Brazil's immense riches. Every day long lines of trucks rumble north and south carrying out lumber, rubber and vegetable oil. New farmlands produce beans, rice, corn and fruit to feed Brazil's exploding population; what was once useless scrub in the central state of Goiás is now pasture land for 4,000,000 head of cattle. And prospectors fanning out from the road have found a vast mineral potential, with deposits of nickel, tin, lead, zinc, copper, gold...
Rats & Goldfish. The Abbott researchers reasoned that learning and memory might be improved by boosting the supply of RNA, and hit upon a seemingly harmless chemical, magnesium pemoline (tradenamed Cylert), which increases RNA synthesis twofold or threefold. Working with Dr. Nicholas P. Plotnikoff, the researchers put Cylert in rat feed, then placed the animals in a chamber where they had to learn to avoid an electric shock. Rats on Cylert learned after only two or three trials; rats with no Cylert took eight to ten trials. Moreover, the Cylert rats remembered their lesson as long as six months, while untreated...
