Three of the plants-in Arkansas, Florida and Ohio-are already shut down for routine maintenance or refueling. So too are Metropolitan Edison's two reactors at Three Mile Island: one because of the March 28 accident, its twin for refueling and maintenance. Thus the NRC's order means an additional loss of only four nuclear plants-California's Rancho Seco and Duke Power's three Oconee reactors in South Carolina-out of 72 nuclear plants licensed to operate across the U.S., including five on the East Coast temporarily shut for earthquake safety studies. All together...
...Birds is actually offensive. While I was somewhat uneasy at the characterizations of huge, lusty men and women who were "genuine whores" in Delta, Nin really comes out of the closet in Little Birds. If there are sadists, they are men. If there are masochists, they are women. The twin gods of Freud and D.H. Lawrence's are worshipped more fervently than ever...
After the southern trip, the unbearable cold spell, the slump that overstayed its welcome, the doubleheader fiasco versus Columbia and the twin shellings of Larry Brown, these boys are finally peaking.

...decades, however, has a single new vegetable stirred such horti-culinary hyperbole as a rogue one-chance-in-a-million mutant developed over years by the Gallatin Valley Seed Co. of Twin Falls, Idaho. It is called the Sugar Snap pea. Somewhat like a snow pea, but with plump, juicy kernels and melt-in-the-mouth pods, it also has some of the characteristics of a snap green bean and should be eaten pod and all. The Burpee catalogue, which gives it cover-sweetie treatment, calls it "truly fantastic." The authoritative magazine of the venerable Massachusetts Horticultural Society joins...
