Both Red powers thus moved ever closer to a final split. Even if that split does not occur immediately on the diplomatic level, last week's exchanges confirmed that it is already a fact. In London, Soviet Premier Aleksei Kosygin went so far as to urge sympathy for "people who are struggling against the dictatorial regime of Mao Tse-tung." Everyone knew that the Russians felt that way, but it was the first time that a ranking Soviet official had said it-and in a capitalist capital, of all places. Russia and China canceled their longstanding agreement permitting citizens...
...Vietnam is the most serious problem the United States government has posed to the American people. In view of this, SDS feels that it is absolutely essential that the program outlined above be carried out. If this does not occur, members of SDS will attempt to engage the Ambassador in a critical debate. We sincerely hope that no one will try to prevent this meeting from being what it should be: a confrontation between the administration and the anti-war movement. Michael L.

Having considered all of these possibilities, NASA decided in the late 1950s that a space-mission failure was more likely to occur because of the added complexity and weight of a two-gas system than because of the fire hazard of a pure-oxygen system. Designers spared no efforts to fireproof the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo spacecraft. All electrical wiring was coated with noncombustible materials. Devices capable of sending out sparks were placed in sealed boxes. Space suits, seats, instruments and cabin walls were all designed to avoid the generation of static electricity...
Chief culprits in the Donora, London and New York smog disasters were probably sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide, which, either in gaseous form or converted into sulphuric-acid mist, can irritate the skin, eyes and upper respiratory tract. Extreme exposure, such as might occur in an industrial accident, can do irreparable damage to the lungs-and even attack the enamel on teeth...
...would do to education. California residents understand very well that Reagan has suggested jettisoning a principle they have always taken for granted: the availability of free college education for their children. But administrators both in the universities and the state colleges are pointing out possible harms that probably never occur to the average Californian. The budget cut, they say, echoing Kerr, would preclude admitting any more students, although 10,000 more prospective students apply to the university each year; it might possibly dilute the quality of training now provided at the smaller campuses; it would ruin the university's competitive...
