...safe-and-sound candidate, the one least likely to embark on war or some other hazardous undertaking. They are a bit less racially prejudiced when they vote, a bit more internationally minded. Their response to charisma is apparently overrated. Younger women may jump and squeal, older women may gush over a candidate like John Lindsay; but once they go to vote, they are less susceptible to their emotions. It was not the glamorous ex-PT boat commander, John F. Kennedy, who won the bulk of the women's vote in 1960. More than 50% of women preferred Richard Nixon...
...with the Portugese colonialists. They went ahead because, in the words of Cabinda Gulf manager Robert F. Ward, the Cabinda oil strike is "one of the major growth areas of the Corporation." The Cabinda fields are estimated to have reserves of at least 300 million tons, and they will gush at the rate of 150,000 barrels a day for forty years.

...heat to raise by 20° the total volume of water which runs over the surface of the U.S. in a year." The devastating effect of that hot water on man and nature, the scientists did not bother to describe. But half those plants (running on conventional fuels) would gush 8.75 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year-enough to change the globe's climate. The other half (nuclear powered) would increase the level of background radiation by as much as 2% a year-enough to have "unforeseeable effects on the world's living things...
