...Massachusetts Americans for Democratic Action, spoke for those who wanted the nation's leaders put in the dock along with Calley. "The guilt of My Lai runs up the chain of command into the White House," he said. "The Army is trying to sacrifice one or two low-level officers as token scapegoats." The most extraordinary demonstration against the verdict from the antiwar side was staged in Manhattan's Wall Street by the Viet Nam Veterans Against the War. Smack in front of the New York Stock Exchange, a dozen veterans in fatigue jackets passed out leaflets next...
...have been colored by a quarter-century of war and unremitting hostility between Arab and Jew. Only a fourth of the Israeli Jews admit that prejudice exists against the Arabs. Yet the highest government job the majority is willing to give an Arab at the present time is a low-level civil service position. Among the Israelis, 23% say they would be bothered if an Arab sat beside them in a restaurant, 26% if they had to work closely with one, 49% if an Arab family moved next door, 54% if their children had an Arab teacher, 74% if their...
Another drawback of the Vernon reactor is its operational requirement to release low-level radioactive liquid and gaseous wastes from time to time. The AEC contends that these wastes are harmless. But a recent paper has shown remarkable correlation between changes in infant mortality and radioactive gaseous discharges in Illinois in the area surrounding the Dresden No. 1 power station (a BWR of one-third the capacity of Vernon) over the past ten years. Dresden's annual effluents ranged from 34,860 to 800,000 curies from...
...periodic low-level discharges are not what principally alarms anti-reactor groups. The big fear is of a major accident at Vernon. Although it is certain that the plant cannotsustain a full, A-bomb blast, it can easily run out of control, melting its safety devices and enclosures. Such overheating would cause explosions of superheated water which could rupture the reactor shielding, releasing highly radioactive particles and gases...
...mountain itself, the most common injuries used to be simple fractures of the lateral malleolus, or anklebone, and low-level spiral fractures of the tibia and fibula. But now that higher, more rigid ski boots are in style, doctors are encountering the more serious "boot-top fracture," in which the tibia and fibula are snapped well above the ankle. A simple ankle fracture takes six to eight weeks to knit properly; a simple boot-top break can require as long as 16 weeks...
