...recognized that it was sad testimony to the rarefied and hopeless level of the Middle East debate if he were prohibited from saying that 1) the Palestinian people exist, and 2) they have legitimate rights. In his sometimes unorthodox use of language, Carter helped induce others to take a fresh look at the hidebound diplomatic formulas. In short, he shook things up in a salutary...
...spruce up its wilting New York centerpiece, the company turned not to outsiders, as other retailers have done when seeking fresh ideas, but to a seasoned, home-grown executive: Edward Finkelstein, 52, president of Macy's of California. Finkelstein quickly sized up the New York store as lacking "verve, excitement and ambience." Its most important good feature, though, was its oldest one: size. Finkelstein seized upon Macy's caverns as he began the rebuilding job. Says he: "It's a beautiful building. It's a good rectangle for fooling around in modernizing...
...Parlange strike and an earlier successful Chevron well called the No. 1 Alma Plantation have touched off fresh waves of leasing and prospecting activity. Altogether, major oil companies and independents have leased more than 1.8 million acres. Some landowners got as much as $350 an acre and a one-third share in future production. The state of Louisiana, controlling 5 million acres, leased land on the bottom of Lake Pontchartrain for $324 an acre and a choice site elsewhere at $1,500 an acre in competitive bidding. So far, the Tuscaloosa Sand has yielded 14 producing or potentially producing wells...
Should geopressure prove to be a viable resource, the implications would be global. Similar zones are believed to exist in at least 45 countries, including those in Western Europe and in the deltas of the Nile, Ganges and Niger rivers. Wells drilled into geopressured zones could supply fresh water as well as energy. At atmospheric pressure the hot water flashes into steam and concentrated brine. The steam can be condensed into pure drinking water, which in desert regions is almost as precious...
Since 1974, Sagan has rewritten and expanded his attack on Velikovsky for publication in the new book, Scientists Confront Velikovsky. In addition to Sagan's remarks and the transcribed speeches of three other AAAS symposium participants--a sociologist, a statistician, and another astronomer--the collection contains a fresh treatment of Velikovsky by a NASA astronomer. The fact that Velikovsky's contribution--which along with Sagan's speech highlighted the meeting--is missing from the book is at first surprising. However, examination of the history of the Velikovsky controversy and of the publishers' unpublished correspondence with him makes the absence...
