...associates at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) have long theorized that the sun occasionally produces the same effect that SST foes charge would result from large-scale use of Concordes. As he explains it, high-energy protons from solar flares, or eruptions on the surface of the sun, are hurled through space to the earth. At lower latitudes, most of the protons are deflected by the earth's magnetic field. But near the poles, where the lines of the field bend toward the earth, the protons slam into molecules...
Stauffer said that most of the problems of nuclear reactors--radioactive waste and leakage--have been solved and that the only other alternative is coal. He ruled out the exotic fuels, such as solar energy, tidal energy, and "burning water hyacinths," as being insignificant...

Mother Liz pronounced the meal "one of the best," which was also her judgment of a rock group, Solar Ben, in which the versatile Michael plays trumpet, flute and guitar...
Advise and Consent. Among the best of American political movies. Preminger's film is far more exciting than Allen Drury's book. Drury, now a rightist so outre that he must dredge the outer reaches of the solar system for solutions to America's political problems, was at his best in his first novel, probably the best Washington novel of all time. The plot concerns the attempt of a dying President to put a supporter of his foreign policy into office as Secretary of State, and the moral issues that confront Senators when it turns out this otherwise wise...
...Macrae has great faith in America's potential to lead the world to vast new wealth. Indeed, he harbors few of the conventional worries that the world is running out of resources. He does not think, for example, that there will be an energy scarcity; alternative sources -nuclear, solar, geothermal, and others -will supply man's needs. Nor does he expect a food crisis, because land can be farmed more efficiently now through new scientific methods and the "green revolution" can be extended to most arable land. He downplays the famous "population explosion," claiming that the world...
