...Frequent Forays. The prime offender, however, is seen to be Justice Blackmun, a slow writer and ponderous thinker, who not only weighs his opinions meticulously but writes them out in longhand. An extremely effective and popular public speaker, Blackmun has made frequent forays on the creamed chicken circuit all over the country this spring. Before tackling the court's work this week, he was off to Emory University in Georgia to accept yet another honorary degree. While the six other full-term Justices on the court have each published between ten and 13 majority opinions, Marshall has announced only...
Slow Growth. Beyond that, nuclear plants take up to ten years to complete and, once operating, are subject to frequent shutdowns because of already rigorous safety requirements. Also, demand for electricity now is growing more slowly than in previous years, so heavy investments in nuclear power look more risky than ever to utilities-even if they could raise the money. Gordon Corey, vice chairman of Chicago's Commonwealth Edison, which has more nuclear capacity installed than any other utility, notes that U.S. power companies contemplate investments of $650 billion over the next 15 years-and will have to raise...

"It's all entertainment," the narration implies. That is a fair enough generalization, but hardly a unifying theme. There is probably no coherent way to bring together Fred Astaire and Lassie, Judy Garland and Johnny Weissmuller. The strain shows...
...them, but at the moment he is having fun being flippant about rock's old insistence on relevance. His tunes are elaborately homespun, lined with shifting, driving rhythms and coy harmonics, their lyrics full of flights of gentle, sometimes treacly fantasy. There are little science-fiction ditties and frequent paeans to Linda. Even during his Beatle days, McCartney was something of a sentimentalist, and not embarrassed about it. At this point in his development, he seems pleased to be a first-rate performer and a composer of clever songs. "People say the music's not as strong...
