While a small minority of the arrested protesters posted the $100 bail required for release, most of the "anti-nuke" prisoners remained in various National Guard armories in New Hampshire through out the week, in accordance with the post-occupation plans of the Clamshell Alliance, the organization opposed to the use of nuclear power that sponsored the short-lived occupation...
...week that ruled the 40-acre building area off-limits to demonstrators; as compensation, Gov. Meldrim Thomson vowed last week that no demonstrators would be arrested as long as they remained outside of the restricted portion of the site. Yet observance of these stipulations did not protect the "anti-nuke" protesters from eventual arrest on Sunday afternoon. As a handful of Harvard undergraduates sit at this moment in a Manchester, N.H. armory for their participation in the occupation, our thoughts remain with them and their fellow prisoners, and we urge the Clamshell Alliance to press on in its fight...
...contributing factor is that nukes are more complicated to build than other types of power plants; they take about ten years to complete, while coal-burning plants can be built in seven years. The extra time is money - lots of it - because the costs of building and borrowing are skyrocketing.

In total, says Power Plant Builder Leonard Reichle of Ebasco Services, Inc., a nuke costs...
...escape from official power and its uses: "As an academic you have a great deal more freedom than in a bureacracy...My inclination is just to write more." Powell should know--he has taught courses to senior Pentagon officials and been consultant to the U.S. Information Agency. The "nuke the Chinks" expressions that led him to leave Defense were "obviously racist slogans." That opinion wasn't majority feeling even at the Pentagon, Powell says, but it made him more aware that "every bureaucracy has its share of lunatics"--and he chose, after 1966, to work in a bureaucracy where lunacy...
...fact that Richard Nixon need no longer worry about appealing to masses of voters was either scary or hopeful, depending upon the angle of view. Radicals and some liberals professed to have nightmares of an "unleashed" Nixon, finally free to throw dissenters into jails and to nuke Hanoi if it did not knuckle under. Conservatives held visions of a sturdy figure checking the tide of permissiveness, defending the work ethic against welfare loafers. Some moderates saw in Nixon's record the hope that he would now turn to the nation's neglected social ills; they cited his dramatic initiatives...
