...slipped through the system. There is a more subtle but equally incisive measure of the disintegrating state of affairs, an assessment of those who call themselves the system's avant-garde and regard themselves as the righteous guardians of social justice. There is an invidious callousness which pervades every layer of American society, including its left-swinging tips. It is an insensitivity spawned no doubt of power tipsyness, for the U.S. is a nation strong enough to keep its own wars thousands of miles off American shores, and fight them essentially by proxy. Angola today is a superpower war, that...
...Jonathan Epstein as the Pastor takes full advantage of his newly-created role of pariah with brilliant results. Kolzak's adaptation enables Epstein to seize a once shallow caricature of a clergyman and transform it into a complex, brooding performance. Karen Ross is a good Mrs. Alving, adding a layer of sophisticated and casual confidence to Ibsen's troubled widow. Stephen Kolzak as the tortured painter Oswald gives an excellent performance; his harrowing breakdown is the one scene where emotion transcends Ibsen's carefully orchestrated social commentaries. Sidney Atwood as Engstrand and Helena Snow as the ambitious Regina handle modernization...

Thus, Crutzen and his colleagues note, a long-term threat to the ozone layer from any source may well be a threat to the species that now inhabit the earth-including...
Public Verdict. Who is right in the nuclear debate? Or in the arguments over aerosol sprays and supersonic aircraft and their effects on the ozone layer? Or in the controversy surrounding food additives and cancer? Too often those who must ultimately decide these issues are likely to be swayed by rhetoric rather than by scientific fact because there is no easy way to sort out the facts in arguments between scientists. Physicist Arthur Kantrowitz, 62, thinks that he has a solution to the dilemma. Kantrowitz, head of Avco Everett Research Laboratory in Everett, Mass., and one of the key engineers...
Physicist Fred Sterzer, director of RCA's Microwave Technology Center at Princeton, N.J., points out that there are well-known and commonly used countermeasures. All the embassy need do, he says, is use metal Venetian blinds, place a layer of wire mesh under its floors, and paper its walls with metal foil, which can then be covered with regular wallpaper. These precautions would not only block any incoming microwaves, but would also prevent bugs in inside walls from sending signals outside the building by microwave...
