...fuse that detonated the fight was a memorial service for Colonel Rafael Tomás Fernández Domínguez, a rebel killed last May during an abortive raid on the National Palace. Attending the service in the inland city of Santiago, 120 miles northwest of Santo Domingo, were Rebel Commander Francisco Caamaño Deño and 90 members of the rebel elite, all armed to the teeth. Caamaño had been warned about going by President García-Godoy, had been told that the loyalists would consider the trip a provocation. He insisted, took...
Cascading Dollars.

Now that the Federal Government is cascading $30 million a week in anti-poverty funds into 2,000 U.S. communities, the poor have power...
...fault of the technician. The disruption began, Ontario Hydro explained last week, when a backup relay -a breadbox-size fuse-blew on power line Q-29BW after Ontario had been requested by Syracuse to up the voltage. The blowout disconnected the line from service; when Q-29BW's load transferred automatically to four other trunk lines running westward out of Beck, they were knocked out as well. With no place to go, the peak-hour power buildup reversed its flow, cascaded eastward through two 230,000-volt tie lines across Niagara Gorge. In a wave that lasted only five...
...Ontario Hydro officials said that they could find no mechanical defect in Q-29BW's backup fuse. Then why did it blow?

Privately, American officials expressed doubts about the design of the backup relay system in service at the Beck plant. But Ontario Hydro officials claimed that its protective safeguards were comparable to those in use on U.S. high-voltage lines. Robert H. Hillery, Ontario Hydro's operations director, insisted that the disconnect-setting of Beck's backup fuses "was well above...
...workers and Sohyo union members, as they marched past hordes of riot cops in blue plastic helmets with Plexiglas face shields. Then the drizzle gave way to a pelting downpour, and what had been billed as the boldest anti-government "demo" in five years sputtered out like a drenched fuse...
