...report, AEC urged heavier stress on development of "breeder" reactors, which will create more nuclear fuel than they consume. Present-model nuclear reactors operate through fission of scarce and costly uranium 235. Natural uranium is mostly U-238; less than 1% of it is U-235. Breeder reactors would convert nonfissionable U-238 into fissionable plutonium, or convert the fairly common element thorium into fissionable U-233 (neither plutonium nor U-233 is found in nature). A few days before the 20th anniversary of the first chain reaction, AEC announced that its experimental plutonium reactor had achieved a self-sustaining...

Harvard voters should know that the third Republican candidate, 24-year-old "Lindy" Lindstrom, is totally unqualified for office. Even his own campaign literature can stress only that he is a family man and is the son of a former representative from this district. Much of the "gown" vote is therefore going to the Mary Newman-Levin Campbell-Bill Homans split ticket. Charles Weiss...
