...huge-and, increasingly, unreasonably expensive--power plants, whether nuclear or coal-fired, relegates other sources of power, such as conservation and the use of renewable resources, to the back burner. Under the DOE plan, conservation measures get last priority. Meanwhile, however, an experiment going on now at Hook River, Oregon, where an entire town was refitted with the latest in energy efficient insulation and appliances, seems to be proving that conservation can indeed quickly pay for itself and eliminate the need for many additional power plants...
...final seven primaries and one caucus will choose 571 of these delegates. In five of the remaining contests, Mondale is the underdog. He has virtually given up on Oregon (43 delegates, May 15), where the Yumpie vote is strong, and faces an uphill struggle in Nebraska (24 delegates, May 15), where popular Governor Bob Kerrey is stumping for Hart. (Last week Kerrey's sometime girlfriend, Actress Debra Winger, campaigned with Hart in Ohio.) Hart also has a slight edge in Idaho (18 delegates, May 24) and South Dakota (15 delegates, June...
That fire once drove him exuberantly. As a cocky University of Oregon senior in 1980, Salazar predicted that he would win the New York Marathon, the first he had ever entered. He did. The next year he predicted he would run the fastest marathon ever in New York. Again he kept up with his words. His obsession to win almost killed him: in the summer of 1978 he received last rites from a priest when his body temperature hit 108° during the 7.1-mile Falmouth Road Race in Massachusetts; after winning the 1982 Boston Marathon, he required...
...noteworthy smaller papers are as feisty and controversial as the Georgia Gazette, but they all seemingly share that philosophy and apply it in all sorts of settings. The Akron Beacon Journal (circ. 163,300), Kansas' Wichita Eagle-Beacon (circ. 120,900), Oregon's Eugene Register-Guard (circ. 65,200) and North Carolina's Fayetteville Times and Observer (combined circ. 66,900) serve sizable communities away from big cities. They are matched in quality by suburban competitors of papers on TIME's ten best list: the Quincy Patriot Ledger (circ. 89,300) south of Boston, the Bergen...
Alfano's Pizza and Spaghetti Restaurant in tiny Oregon, Ill. (pop. 3,800), was a classic mom-and-pop eatery. The friendly Sicilian owner, Pietro ("Pete") Alfano, often tied on an apron and made the pizza himself. Townsfolk were understandably shocked last week when federal authorities arrested Pete, calling him a "main contact point in the United States" for an international drug-trafficking ring run by one of New York City's major Mafia families...
