...Should Work. Heart of the Gourdine generator is a pressurized furnace that spews a stream of hot gas and fly ash down a narrow tube. At the mouth of the tube, the bits of ash pass a "corona discharge" electrode, a needlepointed piece of metal that carries so high an electrical potential that it sprays the surrounding space with a supply of positive ions. Picked up by the passing ash as it is boosted along by the hot gas, those ions move down the tube creating, in effect, an electric current. The electrical resistance that develops is overcome...

On the coast north of Bellingham, the first molten aluminum was tapped last week from the pots of the new $135 million Intalco plant, which will be the third biggest aluminum-producing plant in the world when its three potlines are on stream. The owners of Intalco- American Metal Climax, Howmet and France's Pechiney Co.-were attracted by cheap, abundant power from the Bonneville grid, cheap land, sheltered deep water and fine living for employees...
...underpinning for the evolution of U.S. policy. To get the material they need to form realistic analyses, both Government and academic experts tap numerous and diverse sources, covert and overt.

The compulsive outpourings of Radio Peking and other internal radio stations are monitored by a string of sophisticated snooping devices on China's perimeter. Drone planes, high-flying U-2s and satellite cameras record roads, railways, steel mills, oil wells...
...circumstances, at press conferences or speechmaking. NBC set the balance straight with a beautifully photographed color documentary that placed the man in the context of his own countryside. The fabulous hills and by now mythical Pedernales River were reduced to their actual proportions, to sere ranch land and meandering stream. Next to them, the President suddenly appeared lifesize, and shucking both his White House mantle and "jes' folks" delivery, he reminisced about his beginnings with pride, enthusiasm, wit and spontaneity...
Besides a steady stream of lectures and learned articles, the tireless McKenzie has within the last year shepherded four books into print, including a popular interpretation of the New Testament (The Power and the Wisdom) that is already in its fourth printing and a 900,000-word Dictionary of the Bible, six years in the writing, that both Protestant and Catholic scholars are acclaiming as a classic. Last month Sheed & Ward published his Authority in the Church, a series of reflections on the spiritual understanding of power and rulership. In addition, McKenzie is translating Second Isaiah for Doubleday...
