For all the tourists this season the Riviera seemed cramped, and the resort towns are blending into each other to form an endless Côte d'Azur city. At no place is the coast wider than ten miles between mountains and sea, and the roads are inadequate. It took 90 fume-choked minutes to traverse the Croisette in Cannes; six hours to drive the 35 miles from...

They rammed through the party's convention at Bloemfontein fortnight ago a resolution against the Bantustan program-on the ground that it would reduce the size of white South Africa.

At each end the magnetic field is given added strength to form a magnetic "mirror," which reflects back the charged particles as they try to escape, thus sealing the gas in a magnetic bottle. A bank of 99 condensers, kept in the basement since condensers sometimes blow up, sends a jolt of 4,000,000 amperes thundering through the coil, heating the gas up to around 20 million degrees. Dr. Kolb reported that his machine had confined plasma and kept...
