...after reaching it. (Before the modification of the Bevatron, heavy ions could not be accelerated enough even to penetrate the skin.) In addition, scientists may some day create stable, superheavy elements by bombarding uranium with heavy ions. To bring this goal closer, Berkeley is now developing its one-two punch, connecting the Bevatron with another atom smasher, the Heavy Ion Linear Accelerator, 550 ft. away, to achieve even higher energy levels...
...equity preoccupied most of the experts who testified before Congress's Joint Economic Committee. Paul McCracken, chairman of Nixon's Council of Economic Advisers, hinted strongly at what has become a general assumption in Washington-that some form of wage and price restraint with "clout" and "punch" will be extended beyond the freeze. McCracken also predicted that the Nixon program would create some 500,000 new jobs -enough to reduce unemployment to about 5%. He said that the Administration expected Nixon's measures to add some $15 billion to the gross national product in 1972. More than...
...airlines have been reeling from a combination punch: their costly, shiny new jumbo jets arrived just as a recession cut back the predicted increase in air travel. Last year the U.S. trunk carriers ran up a total loss of $179 million; TWA alone went some $60 million into the red. As always when in trouble, the airlines resorted to a wide-ranging exploration of merger possibilities-the classic, though not always successful industry device for rescuing the flounderers. Some carriers have already reached merger agreements. Currently pending before the Civil Aeronautics Board are three proposed consolidations that could strongly affect...

Mike's mania and Susan's sadism are largely unmotivated, so that as characters they are little more than puppets in a savage Punch and Judy. The film's last scene, which is a frightening realization of one of Mike's most deranged dreams, should properly be shocking and pitiful. But it is singularly unsuccessful, despite the talents of John Moulder-Brown and Jane Asher, who are engaging enough to bring...
...election campaign, his posters were torn down and his workers harassed. Duc himself has been pelted with stones and rotten eggs. In this campaign's most flagrant incident, an opposing government candidate spat a mouthful of beer over him in a restaurant. When Duc responded with a punch in the nose, he was jailed on a charge of attempted murder and released only on the demand of a majority of the House...
