Senator Kennedy's health insurance plan would provide coverage for all Americans and aim at limiting costs, an admirable scheme. But along with any plan to ration medical care and limit its cost comes a compromise in quality. Will the Senator tell us this...
Undecided until next month is the question of how to base the missile. The Air Force continues to favor a "shell game," in which the 200 missiles would be randomly shifted by truck at night among 4,000 silos. One difficulty is that this plan would make it hard for the Soviets to verify, as SALT requires, that the U.S. is not cheating on the number of missiles actually in the holes. Also, if the Soviets find which holes contain missiles and then launch an attack, it would take too long to move the missiles...
...most likely plan now is some form of trenches, in which the MX can be moved around by rail. Each trench, about 20 miles long, might be "zippered" shut, so that it could be uncovered occasionally for Soviet verifiers. MX verification is imperative for the future of SALT, since any system that frustrated verification could presumably be duplicated by the Soviets...
Before leaving Czestochowa, the Pope demonstrated how completely Poles look to the church rather than to the party for leadership. The regime had balked at John Paul's plan to visit the miners in the industrial heartland of Silesia, presumably because it would have been too explicit an embarrassment to have even the workers eating out of his hand. But he held a Mass for workers at the shrine, which drew a special delegation of miners with czaka (plumed ceremonial hats), their wives in traditional peasant dress with brilliant red bandannas on their heads. The crowd of a quarter-million...
...estimated 65 Mw of power, but that force is difficult to harness. The British, French and Japanese are working on wave-power projects. Most involve some kind of rafts hinged together by pistons; the rocking motion forces the pistons to pump water that turns turbines. A different U.S. plan, now being studied by Lockheed, would use a 250-ft.-diameter man-made "atoll" tethered at sea. Looking like a giant doughnut, it would float with its top just above the surface. The waves surging across the rim would flow down the center hole and turn a turbine...
