Chemist Robert Havemann is a tortured German intellectual who embraced Communism before 1933 as a way to oppose Nazism. Then a topflight scientist at Berlin's famed Kaiser-Wilhelm (now Max Planck) Institute, he was saved from a Nazi death sentence when the German army argued that he could be more useful with his head on than off. As a result, he did chemical research for the Wehrmacht during World War II while locked up in Brandenburg Prison. After the war Communist Havemann became one of East Germany's star scholars, won the Patriotic Order of Merit from...
...need for new power plants outpaces their construction. In a seven-year program, Australia is doubling its electrical output, partly to serve such expanding aluminum giants as Alcoa, Alcan, Kaiser and Pechiney. Iran has completed a new water and power project that is hailed as a Middle East TV A and will soon include an $800 million petrochemical complex.

That depends largely on whether Alcoa and Larry Litchfield decide to accept...
...alone. The small domes are light enough to be lifted by helicopter, and they practically build themselves. Non-English-speaking Eskimos can put them together in a matter of hours out of color-coded components. The day his company began erecting a geodesic auditorium in Hawaii, Henry J. Kaiser hopped a plane from San Francisco to see the work in progress, but it was finished by the time he got there, and seated an audience of 1,832 at a concert that same night...
