...EMPEROR OF ICE-CREAM, by Brian Moore. A tough, uncompromising novel about a very young man who learns the value of self-respect by daring to meet the crises caused by an air raid during World War II. Author Moore (The Luck of Ginger Coffey) casts a cold eye on society but warms it with Irish...
...Episcopalian, I am happy to learn that one bishop recognizes that the ecclesiastical talents of women are not limited to sitting in a pew. East Glacier, Mont., seems an unlikely place for a thaw in "God's frozen people," but Bishop Pike has managed to break the ice...

...electrodialysis, in which electrically charged cellulose-acetate membranes attract the impurities, is being used to convert less salty but brackish waters. Still another method involves freezing. As a youth in Siberia, Alexander Zarchin, an Israeli engineer, became fascinated by the fact that he could drink melted water from the ice of salty seas. In freezing, he learned, the ice crystals form separately from the brine, then melt down as fresh water. One important advantage of this kind of desalinization is that it takes less power to freeze than to heat. A prototype plant, developed by Zarchin and built by Colt...
