...many of America's largest corporations have a vested interest in the status quo, nor can we expect that policy to change until those companies have withdrawn. Yet one need only look at the case of Rhodesia to see the effectiveness of such sanctions. I do not mean to suggest that all is now well in Rhodesia, but since the imposition of economic sanctions, there has been progress towards majority rule that would have been unimaginable earlier. South Africa is a different case, of course--its domestic economy is much stronger, for one thing--but then, where Rhodesia had South...
...battle against the Seabrook, N.H. plant. Meltdown at Montague proves valuable, then, simply because it is the least hysterical and most readable factual account of nuclear power today. While the book most definitely possesses an anti-nuke tone, the reader is hard-pressed to find dogma. The closing pages suggest that because nuclear power plants are here to stay, we must perfect emergency plans to minimize the damage of a possible meltdown. If the idea of a radioactive plume blown eastward over Boston from Montague doesn't make you stop and think--and worry--about nukes, nothing will...
...first, the flap seemed to have some of the ingredients of a first-class scandal. The evidence seemed to suggest that Financier Robert Lee Vesco had masterminded a well-funded campaign to buy influence from some of the President's advisers. Vesco's purpose: to get them to call off the Justice Department's attempt to extradite him from Costa Rica, where he had lived in exile for six years to escape prosecution for fraud. But as more details emerged last week, one critical thing was missing: any evidence that the President or his aides had done anything for Vesco...
...third and innermost chamber, the sanctuary where only priests and an occasional petitioner entered, is bare except for a stela representing the two brothers with Osiris and Isis. A concealed chamber behind it may have contained the embalmed bodies of the brothers or, as some suggest, may have been used by a hidden priest to make oracular pronouncements to impress the faithful. But few of them would ever have heard him. For unlike a Christian church, the Egyptian temple was not designed for worshipers to gather to pray. Rather, it was a house built for the god himself...
...hope, as press reports suggest the State Department still does, that Pretoria will decide of its own accord to abandon this reprehensible course. But given South Africa's past history of cynical contempt for world opinion and the current political turmoil within the Nationalist party caused by the resignation of Vorster, such a magnanimous change of heart appears unlikely. In Afrikanerdom, politicians consolidate support by demonstrating that they are the meanest, toughest-skinned leaders in town, not by coming out on the dove side of hot issues...
