...MOST controversial measure, however, has been the implementation of the oxygenated fuel program this winter. Oxygenated fuel, its proponents argue, is less destructive to the environment, emitting fewer hydrocarbons into the atmosphere. Though the fuel is supposedly safe for "newer" cars, there is still some question as to just how "new" the cars must be, and just what make and model a car must be in order to avoid potential damage to its engine or carburetor from the new type of fuel. The program is scheduled only for the winter, when smog levels are highest, but its costs may extend...
...safe with any of the above and shrimp in hot black bean sauce ($8.95). The latter is a very generous portion (a dozen large-to-middling size shrimps) in a sauce made complex by the addition of fermented black beans. The beans are the basis of a rich sauce of their own in Cantonese cookery. Here their aromas blend with the Szechwan bouquet in a way that I find very novel. Perhaps this is the "continental cuisine" of Taipei, where Chef Hou won his epaulettes at a major hotel...
Even as a newly aroused DOE bureaucracy struggles with the massive task of trying to clean up improperly stored radioactive wastes from 40 years of bombmaking, no solution is in sight for a demonstrably safe permanent disposal system that will last for the required millenniums. At just two facilities, Hanford and Savannah River, nearly 100 million gal. of highly radioactive wastes have been generated. At Hanford alone, some 200 billion gal. of the more benign low-level wastes have been dumped into ponds, pits and basins -- enough to create a lake 40 ft. deep and large enough to cover Manhattan...
Very few firms these days are big enough to be safe from takeovers. This year alone, such familiar institutions as Kroger, Polaroid and Bloomingdale's (Federated Department Stores) have come under attack. One reason for the buyout binge is the amount of money available for acquisitions. Private investors have guaranteed more than $30 billion in capital to large takeover funds, providing would-be raiders with the capital to mount their attacks. Kohlberg, Kravis, Roberts, an investment firm with $5.6 billion for use in takeovers, is a leader in the field. Since the takeover funds can borrow against their capital, they...
While belatedly admitting past horrors, weapons officials refuse to accept responsibility in their single- minded mission to make nuclear bombs at all costs. Charges mount that radioactive wastes are poisoning the air and water and contaminating residents near facilities. And the costs of cleaning up and making aging facilities safe are staggering.
