...with a few demurrers, generally goes along with the U.S. version of the treaty, which is only some 800 words long. The U.S. draft prohibits the manufacture of nuclear explosives by havenots, establishes a control system through the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency to make sure that no reactor fuel is diverted to weapon-making, guarantees to all signatories of the pact the cooperation of the nuclear powers in such peaceful activities as canal blasting or mountain removal, and extends security guarantees to the non-nuclear powers. It also argues that NATO does not violate the non-proliferation concept...
Spurred partly by $1.3 billion of Government subsidy but more by the competition between Westinghouse and front-running General Electric for plant-building orders, nuclear power costs have dropped so far that atomic plants in some areas come cheaper than the conventional variety. Nine years ago, the first commercial reactor at Shippingport, Pa., generated electricity for 65 mills per kwh. The Oyster Creek plant of Jersey Central Power & Light, due to open next year, is expected to run for 4 mills per kwh, as does Consolidated Edison's Indian Point plant 30 miles up the Hudson River from Manhattan...
...everyone guessing about their arrangements with Peking. They say that India has negotiated with Eastern Europe for 600 tanks, 400 heavy guns, 200 tank transporters, and elsewhere for 200 missile-firing supersonic aircraft and submarines, helicopters and antiaircraft missiles.

What Stone produced might well make an old Mogul emperor rub his eyes in astonishment. Against the background of the blue Murree hills, Stone set the swimming-pool reactor beneath a mosquelike dome embellished with gold mosaic designs, juxtaposed it with a minaret-like exhaust tower. Enclosing the reactor complex is a great quadrangle housing laboratories and offices. In its final phase, the great quadrangle surrounding the reactor will measure 800 ft. by 600 ft., become the nucleus for what Stone likes to think of as "the M.I.T. of Pakistan...
Grace & Delight. So pleased was the Pakistani government with the new reactor that last week it gave Stone the staggering commission to design its new capital at Islamabad. Working with a budget approaching $100 million, Stone will design five government structures, including the presidential residence, in the new capital's 50-block central core...
