This thought leads to the third objection to the Bayh plan, raised by some liberals. They argue that, contrary to ear lier appearances, it would favor conservatives over liberals. One of the anomalies of the Electoral College, they note, is that it gives minorities an influence beyond their numbers and benefits liberal candidates who have their support. The reason is that big states, unlike many small states, usually have strongly vying, evenly divided parties, and a bloc vote by minorities can change an election. Illinois, with 26 electoral votes, is a crucial swing state; its large non-white minority...
...making their predictions, some of the scientists harked back to two ear lier oil disasters - the wreck of the tanker Tampico off Baja California and the rupture of the Torrey Canyon off the English coast, both of which devastated marine life. While the Tampico carried partially refined and relatively volatile diesel oil, the oil seeping up into Santa Barbara Channel was unrefined crude, which is considerably less lethal. More over, the Santa Barbara oil spill was spread over a vast expanse of sea and did not wash up onto the beaches immediately. Much of it lingered on the waves before...
Decelerating Bang. Recalling an ear lier suggestion that soft X rays would be given off by hot, thinly dispersed hydrogen gas, the NRL scientists turned to their computers. To produce the detected radiation, they calculated, the temperature of the gas would have to be 1,400,000° F. and its density only one atom of hydrogen in every 3.5 cu. ft. of space. But even at this low density, says Astrophysicist Henry, the hydrogen gas would constitute 100 times as much matter as there is in all of the galaxies combined and thus solve the mystery of the universe...
Russia remains, of course, the chief target on China's periphery. The Chinese daily heap abuse on the Russians, and Moscow reported last week that hundreds of chanting Chinese demonstrators had tried to cross the Russian border at Khabarovsk in Siberia ear lier this year, calling on the Soviet guards to disobey their officers as men who had "sold themselves to American imperialism...
POOR RICHARD. Richard, the poet-charmer on the run from his memories, may not be as engaging as the playwright's ear lier creation, Mary, the wisecracking wife on the brink of divorce, but Jean Kerr's wit keeps the play incisive and amusing...
