...seen the ultimate maturity of nuclear energy as yet. I think the fast-breeder question, linked as it is with the question of reprocessing,* should not be decided right now. We need some more years to decide that one. In the meantime, we have to keep that option open. Of course, this entails two other questions in the energy-political field that deserve closest attention...

That decision was reached by the two men during a 15-min-ute private session in El Arish at a refurbished villa that only days before had been the headquarters of local Israeli water authorities.

In its present need to ensure a measure of political order, the Gierek government devoutly desires good relations with the Polish church and the Vatican. That...
...sires of a generation ago. Before the second World War, a few wealthy racing families bred, foaled, raced and retired to stud much of the finest American bloodstock. "Today," says Lucien Laurin, trainer of Secretariat, "it's easier to get better breeding because it's more of an open breeding market." The reason: the proliferation of commercial breeders and the widespread syndication of top stallions. The owners of Spectacular Bid, as well as Seattle Slew, certainly are not members of racing's Establishment...
