Supporters claim that gamma-ray exposure offers an alternative to controversial pesticides, fumigants and preservatives, and protects human health by killing parasites like trichina worms in pork and bacteria like salmonella, which causes food poisoning. Irradiation, they note, can extend shelf life. "We see the day when you can go into a supermarket and buy a barbecued chicken that has been cooked, vacuum-packed and irradiated. It can sit on the shelf for eight years, and all you'll have to do is heat it up," predicts Physicist Martin Welt, founder of Radiation Technology...
...success of the Wildmons and Falwells in putting their own definition on pornography." One recent confrontation took place in Tyler, Texas, where a city ordinance bans nudity below the navel. Local marshals warned stores in the city that the July issue of Cosmopolitan had to be taken off the shelf because of an article showing tummy-tucking operations for chubby women; the local district attorney stepped in, however, and told the marshals that the law did not apply in this case...

...Hodel: "The federal offshore-leasing program must continue to move forward if this nation is to have a stable domestic supply of energy in the years ahead." Offshore exploration looks attractive because as many as 10 billion bbl. of oil is believed to be tucked under California's continental shelf, where geological forces favored the formation of large pools like the Santa Maria Basin field discovered in 1980 along the coast north of Los Angeles. Estimated by industry experts to hold up to 1 billion bbl. of oil, that field will more than quadruple California's oil production on federal...
