...mayor also serves as the chairman of the School Committee, which is divided three to three between independents and members of the Cambridge Convention slate. It is still unclear as to what the committee's major issues and voting coalitions will be and so the impact of Danehy, Roman Hruska's ideological twin, remains uncertain...
...another meeting with Dobrynin, on Jan. 17, and in two phone calls, Brzezinski kept pushing for more detail. Could the uranium on board reach critical mass and explode either on re-entry or on impact with the earth? It could not, Dobrynin insisted. Brzezinski signed a National Security Council directive alerting the CIA, NASA and the Defense and State departments to the probable re-entry of Cosmos 954. Special U.S. Air Force teams trained in radiation detection and decontamination techniques were alerted to fly to any impact site...
...space experts contend that their nuclear power packages provide heavy protection against such disaster because they are encased in armor designed to survive both re-entry and impact with the earth. They can sometimes be recovered intact. And despite the tremendous interest in the fall of Cosmos 954, there have been at least six previous nuclear space accidents without known harm...

As always, Foucault, 51, ransacks history for prefigurations of contemporary power and knowledge. Discipline and Punish analyzes the institution of incarceration as it burgeoned in 19th century Europe and America. Why this sudden, universal appearance? Foucault's answer: to meet the needs of a new, relentlessly scrutinizing "disciplinary" society...
