...examination, they were put through an exhaustive series of tests to ensure that they carried no organisms which might be harmful to man. During this time the samples were in complete isolation. Although there have been numerous incidents of isolation chamber leakage, most have been minor. The one major leak occurred during the quarantine of the Apollo 12 samples and required Frondel to enter quarantine for two weeks himself. Failure to find the lunar samples biologically dangerous has led to the quarantine being abandoned...
...hearty "F- J. Edgar Hoover." To the startled listener on the other end of the line, he explained: "Just clearing the lines." During the debate over G. Harrold Carswell's nomination to the Supreme Court, Indiana Senator Birch Bayh became so disturbed over an inexplicable strategy and information leak that he called in an expert to examine his office for listening devices. The expert "swept" Bayh's office-the same suite occupied by Richard Nixon when he was a Senator-with a detector and picked up blips from beneath the floor. The floor was pounded until the blips...
Through what now appears to have been a deliberate government leak, the pro-Communist newspaper Paese Sera two weeks ago learned of the Dec. 8 farce. PLOT BY THE EXTREME RIGHT, headlined the daily. But Colombo's government rather than the Communists emerged as the spearhead of anti-Fascist vigilance. That was the feeling after warrants were issued last week for the arrest of Prince Borghese and five aides for seeking "to provoke an armed insurrection...
Within four days, the gist of the report was in the papers, and rumors soon followed that the Prime Minister himself was responsible for the leak. Borten, who had successfully headed Norway's four-party nonsocialist governing coalition since 1965, after 30 years of Labor Party rule, vigorously denied the story. But newsmen knew that he and Haugestad had met on the plane, and the rumors persisted. Finally, in a midnight declaration, Borten admitted that he had shown the report to Haugestad. "I have been guilty of an indiscretion," he confessed. Last week, after a series of emergency Cabinet...
...atomic reactor sustains a fission reaction which produces heat used to boil water which drives electric turbines in the same way as in traditional, coal-fired plants. All coal contains traces of radioactive carbon, which is released when coal is burned. Recent studies suggest that boiling water reactors will leak over 14,000 times the amount of radioactivity produced by coal burning. Such a reactor is also only about 20 per cent efficient, which means over 80 per cent of the heat generated is wasted and must be released to the environment. This is less than half as efficient...
