Happily for local students, the Festival's producers are not merely artists, but also men of action in the economic field. A non-profit foundation, the Festival is devoted to the presentation of works of "classic drama," such as the three that are planned for this summer. It feels that this is a whole area of important dramatic literature too often relegated to the classroom, and that these works, which are classics for good reason, will return to the popular repertory if they are properly presented. And to reinforce this conviction, "to implement, in a practical fashion, the notion that...
Women & Children First. The main vaccine problem is supply, which is still far behind demand, although 69 million cc. have been released. Of the expanding monthly output (9,500,000 cc. in May), 60% now goes to public agencies for free clinics and distribution to local doctors.

But they resolutely fight off local pressure to add 40 other African dialects to the programming. Every night of the year, however, they give their forgetful listeners an indispensable service in CABS's sign-off announcement, always clearly enunciated twice: "You must now turn your radio set off!" Otherwise 60,000 set batteries might well drain all night. By the following...
...year 2000, the committee figured, the world's atomic power plants will be producing enough krypton 85 to raise appreciably the radioactivity of the middle latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere. Other gases given off at fuel-processing plants, e.g., iodine 131, can do even worse on a local scale. The committee points out that unfavorable weather conditions around a processing plant can concentrate the gases intensely...
