...campaign ended last week, Operation Primavera had become the most successful bust of coke labs in Colombian history, netting a total of 26 plants capable of producing 6.6 tons of the addictive white powder a week. Though the plants never achieved that level of production, the potential output is about three times the demand of the U.S. market. Boasted a senior police official: "This is a bullet to the heart of the cocaine mafia...
...much of the anger that provided a harsh overtone for recent U.S.-Japanese summits. In their place was the hope, albeit still as fragile as a cherry blossom, for an era of growing harmony between the two countries that together represent almost half the non-Communist world's economic output...
...boost the U.S. savings rate and make Americans more productive. But, like the supply-side forecasts of smaller deficits, both promises failed to come true.

At the same time, the growth of business productivity, or output per hour, averaged a meager 1.4% from 1980 to 1987, half the rate of the 1960s. Reason: the savings decline slowed investments in productive new equipment...
...study, "Safety Assessment for Space Reactors," included a discussion of what would happen if a one-megawatt thermal nuclear reactor was to reenter the atmosphere immediately after 10 years of continuous output. The report read: "although not specifically calculated, the number of fatalities for reentry at time of shutdown or during operation would be 30,000-50,000." Translated from military-industrial- speak, this means that if the worst case scenario occurs, 30-50,000 people would be killed worldwide...
...South Yemen's attempts at bootstrap development. In 1987 Soviet geologists discovered a little of the black gold beneath the desert sands near Shabwa. When the first wells begin gushing in 1990, the area may produce up to 70,000 barrels a day. That small but steady output will bring $240 million a year into South Yemen's treasury...
