...dimension. The committee report delineates well the facets of this element--the concern over ecological damage. It notes that economic feasibility of the project involves the questionable construction of two other power plants currently stalled in legal action, and that without these facilities serious increases in air pollution could occur. It notes New York City's concern that the Catskill aqueduct, which supplies 40 per cent of the city's water, might be damaged by the project. It notes that the public safety could be endangered by the proposed dam, and that its rupture could inundate half the town...
...Imagination" and "soul" are words that occur again and again in these essays. They are still alive, if not always well, in the Third World, Paz believes, and his primary concern is to save them. In his quest for allies he ranges far and wide. He examines fellow Latin American artists like Pablo Neruda (whom he calls "a poetic continent") and the film maker Luis Bunuel (whom he compares to Goya).

After it gets the reports, the Cost of Living Council can demand explanations of increases that seem to violate the guidelines, set interim price and wage levels...
Influenza is no longer the mass murderer it was decades ago, when an epidemic could kill thousands. Doctors theorize that people have developed sufficient natural immunity to reduce the virus's impact; medicine is usually able to cope with serious complications in the rare cases in which they occur. Still, the bug is impervious to antibiotics and too versatile to be fully controlled by inoculation. It mutates quickly enough to keep a step ahead of vaccine manufacturers; a new vaccine, using live viruses, will not be ready for some years (TIME...
