Reliable Supplier. Unfortunately, the issue is not so simple, said Myron B. Kratzer, a Deputy Assistant Secretary of State. If the U.S. withholds the uranium, India could buy fuel elsewhere-probably from the U.S.S.R. The Indians might then also refuse to allow international inspectors to monitor their reactors. That would remove the only existing outside control over India's nuclear activities. Therefore, Kratzer continued, the U.S.'s best position involves a paradox. The nation can watch over the proliferation of atomic weapons only if it remains actively engaged as a reliable supplier of peaceful nuclear needs...
...minutes on the floor. As soon as your time was up you got back in line and waited for an hour or an hour and a half until your turn came again. Once you had your shot you consigned yourself to the bleachers and passed time with the monitor and reporters from WBUR and the Chelsea Clinton news before you could reach the floor for a second time. Once given the baton you'd try to run past the crowds, but it took five minutes to get to the floor. There was a great temptation not to return the pass...
...through purses and briefcases; photographs are taken of each new visitor. All the defendants (except one who is on bail) are shackled at the ankles and wrists and are chained around the waist to chairs that are bolted to the floor-presumably to thwart escape attempts. Three TV cameras monitor everything in the court, and a bulletproof, multilayered, Plexiglas shield separates spectators from judge, jury, lawyers and defendants...
Computers are also moving into other areas, thanks to the invention by Marcian E. Hoff Jr., of Intel Corp., of the micro computer, containing tiny (1/6 sq. in.) chips of silicon, now used in cars to control antiskid systems or monitor engine temperatures and in refineries and sewage-treatment plants to control the decomposition of waste and the levels of bacteria. Some engineers are also working on the development of home computer terminals that could give individuals access to whole libraries of information, as well as start a sort of "electronic democracy" in which public opinion on any issue could...
...scientists, it more likely exists in the form of tiny, hardy organisms too small for Viking's cameras to perceive. It is these life forms that Viking's ingenious biology laboratory is designed to seek out. Eight days after the landing-an interval during which Viking will monitor Martian weather and seismology and shoot the mission's first color pictures-the ingeniously conceived and packaged laboratory (which occupies about a cubic foot of space) will begin operating. The surface sampler, a power-shovel-like bucket, will be extended from Viking by a boom that can reach...
