Nuclear fusion, which could exploit an unlimited fuel supply and promises little contamination of the environment, cannot fill the gap either. Researchers at Princeton and other labs have made some progress on fusion, in which atomic nuclei are combined rather than split. But physicists think it will take decades of problem solving before they can even attempt to build commercial reactors...
...into condition to fight-really fight, not rope-a-dope-a powerful champion eleven years his junior. Leon Spinks, on the other hand, was overwhelmed by the new status he had so frantically sought. The privations of a ghetto background had suddenly been replaced by $3.75 million purses. The gap-toothed young street fighter was, overnight, the biggest man in sports.

Remy then let a Reggie Jackson dribbler squirt through his legs, and the aggressive-running Bombers had tallied twice to close the gap to 6-3. But Jackson was cut down trying to stretch the Remy error into a double, and reliever Bob Stanley fanned Chris Chambliss to quash the rebellion...
