...Ocean, flowing into it through turbines, would generate as much electricity per day as 200,000 tons of coal. The biggest such project is damming the Mediterranean at the Strait of Gibraltar. In a century its level would fall 330 ft., exposing 90,000 square miles of new land. Inflow from the Atlantic could then generate power, but other effects might be even more interesting. Ley thinks that the cold water that now flows out of the bottom of the Strait of Gibraltar keeps the Gulf Stream away from the coast of France. With this barrier removed, Western Europe might...
...inflow of doctors who have been poorly trained in foreign countries is threatening to undermine the standards of U.S. medical care, Columbia University's Dean of Medicine warned last week. Unless something is done about it, Dr. Willard C. Rappleye told a Chicago conference on medical education, the U.S. will lose the benefits of a 40-year effort to raise its standards...
...another. With water-happy householders emptying an estimated 500,000 tubfuls down the drain the first day, the capital's ancient and decrepit drainage system broke down. To make things worse, heavy rains flooded the streets. By week's end, engineers were forced to cut the inflow of the new water by a third. They probably will hold it at the reduced level till the drainage system can be overhauled-at an estimated $60 million, more than twice the cost of the entire Lerma project...
...west. Prospects were that unless the Russians dropped their demand for "certificates of origin," this "baby airlift" might be reinforced with military aircraft. At the same time, along the 500-mile curtain between East & West Germany, western border guards halted all freight, depriving the Soviet zone of a daily inflow of $238,000 worth of western goods, among them badly needed iron and steel products. Backed by the Allied High Commission, the Bonn government refused to ratify a new trade agreement between East & West Germany until the Communists stop interference with West Berlin traffic...
...west wall, through which the water will enter the tank, shows two huge hands cupping the inflow, and workmen and engineers presenting the water to the people in construction helmets. The south wall is dominated by a huge, bewildered-looking Negro. Near him stand a dried-up old woman-Rivera's idea of the Mexican aristocracy-and a boy leading a monkey. The monkey, Rivera says, "represents the Mexican middle class and also intellectuals, not excluding many politicians. During the 19th Century, they tried to imitate French culture and the English way of life, and now in the 20th...
