...charges, photoelectric devices for measuring luminosity, photographs and recordings of thunder. From studies of some 3,000 cloud-to-ground lightning flashes, two apparent patterns emerged: the number of lightning discharges from storm clouds seeded with silver iodide was from 32% to 38% less than from unseeded storms. One type of discharge, which lingers on the ground for a relatively long period of time (about one-fifth of a second)-appeared to be responsible for most fires. Thus, the scientists hope, cloud seeding and inspection of areas struck by long-discharge lightning, may some day reduce fires...

A seven-inch cartridge, resembling a discus, could play up to 30 minutes in color, an hour in black and white. Now called Electronic Video Recording (EVR), the system may reach the U.S. market...
Turner has challenged few previous conglomerate-type mergers, and the courts have issued nothing in the way of clear-cut guidelines even in those cases. Turner, who once took a go-soft line on conglomerate get-togethers, now seems to be stiffening up. Said he last March...
