...rises not from its flaws but from its truths. If many of the specifics have been sporadically reported, if criminals have often been called to account, urban systems still manage to fend off basic reform. They will continue to do so until voters decide otherwise. For that millennium to occur, there need to be more Jeremiahs like Newfield willing to howl their grim, invaluable message over and over again. It cannot be heard by too many citizens, or heeded by too many cities...
...cripple the joints. Then, learning that almost all the victims lived in three adjoining towns along the Connecticut River-Lyme, Old Lyme and East Haddam (total population 12,000)-medical investigators from the Yale University School of Medicine came to a decidedly different conclusion. Because rheumatoid arthritis does not occur in clusters, they realized that the illness-dubbed Lyme arthritis-was something...
...when their bodies still contained antibodies from their mothers that interfered with their developing complete immunity. For this reason, the U.S. Public Health Service is now recommending that vaccinations be deferred until 15 months, unless special circumstances like an outbreak of measles require earlier vaccinations. When such eruptions do occur, says the Public Health Service, shots should be given to all susceptible young people, even students on college campuses...
...three conditions: 1) very high temperatures (which impart great velocity to the nuclei), 2) high density (the nuclei crowded together to increase the probability of head-on collisions), and 3) confinement of the high-speed, densely packed nuclei for a long enough time to enable the fusion reaction to occur and to sustain itself...
...energetic enough, the effect will be so great that the nuclei will fuse, releasing energy like a miniature H-bomb. Among others, researchers at Los Alamos (N. Mex.) Scientific Laboratory and the Lawrence Livermore lab have achieved fusion in laser experiments with the pellets. More impressive reactions may occur in late 1977, when scientists at Lawrence Livermore complete work on the $25 million Shiva, the world's largest and most powerful laser. On the other hand, experts at Sandia Laboratories in Albuquerque are pinning their hopes for achieving fusion on the descendants of an already operating machine called Proto...
