Thesis topics in Economics ranged from Lewis's "The Iron and Steel Industry" to Steve Galbraith Mullins's possibly apocryphal "Analysis of how the menu in Amtrak affects the number of passengers...
Fukuda is aware of the need to make concessions. As he told Stewart, color-television sets, steel, automobiles and ships "account for a major portion of our export trade, so much so that we are advising [the manufacturers] to avoid undue concentration [on specific markets]." Fukuda also warned against restrictive measures like last week's recommendation by the U.S. International Trade Commission that tariffs on imported television sets be increased from 5% to 25% over the next two years (see ECONOMY & BUSINESS...
...Tories charged that the projected 1% cut in government outlays was too little, too late-an argument that masked Thatcher's aim of forcing elections now, while the Tories are 16 points ahead of Labor in opinion polls. Liberal M.P.s also raised questions. Translation: Liberal Party Leader David Steel wants a larger voice in government decisions for his 13-member delegation.

...Prime Minister squeaks through, it will be in part because he and his rebellious left wing are sure to keep the hated Margaret Thatcher from coming to power.

Typically, the physician pushes several hollow steel needles horizontally into the breast through the tumorous area and out the other side (see diagram). Thin plastic tubes are then threaded through the needles (which are subsequently removed) and anchored in place by small plastic buttons at either end. The iridium-in the form of tiny "seeds" embedded in a thin, stiff nylon ribbon -is inserted into the tubes. The outer layer of the seed is a steel sheathing; it blocks dangerous ionizing beta rays (electrons), but allows the escape of the high-energy gamma rays that destroy the tumor...
