Inside the office to the left of the red door, however, lurk less pleasant reminders of current Advocate worries. A number of notes beseech members to pay their dues, which have escalated to $40 per year. Another announces. "The Advocate phone has been reconnected" over which someone has scrawled "Phone is dead." A hole in a carpet, a lamp without a shade, a curious emptiness to the threadbare offices all evoke a feeling that good times have come and gone. On a rainy Thursday afternoon, hours before the upcoming issue must be sent to production, only three editors find their...
...head Pentagon scientist, who last month suggested that the station "may be the forerunner of a weapons platform." That the USSR launched 125 satellites last year while NASA sent up only 18 leads Jastrow to suspect that some of the Soviet devices are actually "killer satellites that can lurk in orbit" for long periods of time until detonated from the ground. Jastrow most fears the Soviets may someday have enough such killer satellites to abruptly declare the space above the USSR off-limits to American reconnaissance satellites.

Papers seen to crawl out of every available crack This tiny room has become the lonely beachhead of radical economics...
...reason is that salt and sodium lurk in unlikely places (see chart). Limiting salt is not just a matter of giving up pickles, pretzels and anchovy pizzas, or throwing out the salt shaker. A single serving of instant chocolate pudding can have twice as much sodium as a small bag of potato chips, and a scoop of cottage cheese three times that of a handful of salted peanuts. Thanks in part to the sodium in baking powder and baking soda, baked goods and cereals are the No. 1 source of sodium in the diet of many Americans. Preservatives such...
