...provide alternate sources of power, notably through nuclear energy. In the meantime, however, fuel supplies are al ready becoming scarcer, harder to dig out and thus more expensive. The focal point of this energy crisis-the point at which demand is growing fastest and threatening most immediately to out strip available supplies-is in electric power, which is largely derived from fossil fuels (oil, coal...
...control in any form: the plays the Caravan has chosen are therefore political only in a very broad sense; it is-the Actor's Prologue about Power and the Indochina War that makes the political intent of the production much more specific. The Prologue moves right into Mrozek's "Strip-tease," a very funny and clearly understandable play. Two people, Man "A" representing rationality and the virtues of inner, intellectual freedom, and Man "B" representing emotionality and the virtues of physical freedom, are confined and gradually deprived of their clothing by a giant hand. The two men's approaches...
Though there are twice as many registered Democrats as Republicans in the state, Jay Rockefeller is far from being a shoo-in. In fact, his gutsy but politically risky call for an end to strip mining in the state "completely and forever" has turned his race against the folksy, foxy Republican incumbent, Arch A.

In last week's primary there were signs that the ecological message was getting through: 11 of the 23 candidates who won seats in the House of Delegates had the endorsement of the increasingly popular "Citizens to Abolish Strip Mining Inc." Sweeping out Moore, a savvy campaigner whose vote-pulling power started with the student body presidency at West Virginia University and ran through six terms as a U.S. Congressman, is something else. But Rockefeller has his own tradition to uphold. Harking back to his great-grandfather, the first...
...alive and transmitting, the 1,200-lb. robot has sent back more than 6,800 pictures since it began circling the planet last November. By patiently matching and assembling these photographs, scientists at Caltech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory have put together a jigsaw-puzzle-like map of a strip of Mars extending 30° above and below the equator as well as an overall view of its south polar cap. Indeed, detailed photographs, showing features as small as 100 yards across, were among the highlights of the 15th annual session of the international Committee on Space Research, attended...
