...more sophisticated techniques. One method employs infra-red aerial photography. Since the infra-red film is sensitive to heat, geothermal areas are likely to show up lighter in the picture. Another method measures the earth's electrical conductivity, which increases with the presence of subsurface hot water. To tap the subterranean energy, engineers drill with standard oil rigs, going down as little as 600 ft. or as much as 8,000 ft., the depth of the world's deepest steam well at Salton Sea near Brawley, Calif...
...arranged a $1.4 billion line of credit for Britain-with the proviso that the money could be used only if Prime Minister Harold Wilson's government took drastic measures to cure the country's chronic balance of payments problem. When Britain was allowed to go ahead and tap that credit last month, it meant that the IMF was reasonably satisfied with the way in which Britain has pulled up its socks, economically speaking. Last week London received still another vote of confidence from international moneymen: central bankers from twelve industrial nations-agreed in Basel, Switzerland, to provide Britain...
...help replenish their hard-pressed party coffers, Arizona Republicans and Democrats have rallied around a mutually beneficial scheme for getting the wage-earner financially involved in politics.

The bank charges 3 1/2? per deduction, and the balance is forwarded to the contributor's party. Regular "stockholder reports" will be published tallying how much money was received from the plan and how it was spent.

They were playing too complicated, too static, very difficult to get that off the ground." He turned to Waller "I really like it when you tap on the snare and do the tom-tom at the same time. Its really deep you know what I mean." Again the bewitching London accent...
...they sometimes have been in "squeezing" judicial decisions into a neat pattern. They should instead make full use of all the modern tools; not only law, but medicine, psychiatry, mass psychology, economics and social engineering. Fortas himself is thinking of equipping his office with a computer console to tap the memory bank of social knowledge and data assembled by the Russell Sage Foundation, of which he is a trustee. More and more the courts "enter into everybody's life every day, from pre-womb to post-tomb," and a many-sided approach, using all the disciplines, could result...
