...Nick's was obviously tiring. The New York squad had brought only 15 men to Cambridge, and it was having trouble mounting an effective attack against the three sets of fresh, talented defensive units that Weiland was able to use. Durno was almost unbeatable, making 26 saves, and good back checking did the rest...
Excuse me, young lady, I believe you must be looking for the Cambridge Rooms; ladies don't use this entrance." I explained. Everyone was polite. Mr. Stack, the Club's General Manager, assured the doorman that I was expected, and offered me a tour of the parts of the club I might not have seen before...
...British Physicist Otto Frisch once said: "Uranium is a prima donna difficult to seduce." While other European nations incorporated American expertise into their atomic power industries, France under Charles de Gaulle proudly clung to its own nuclear technology. The country's four atomic power plants use natural uranium, the only nuclear fuel available to France in large amounts. The least fissionable of atomic fuels, natural uranium requires costly installations. The system has been a technical success but an economic failure. Says Marcel Boiteux, general manager of Electricité de France, the state-controlled power network: "The cost of electricity...
...heritage, the government of President Georges Pompidou has just decided to build atomic power stations based on American technology. The government will ask for bids from interested companies and make its decision this spring. The new plants will burn enriched uranium, which is highly fissionable and relatively cheap to use. Almost all of the Western world's enriched uranium is produced in gaseous-diffusion plants owned by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. For a time, at least, France would become dependent on U.S. fuel. The government announcement angered French atomic workers, who face the loss of 2,600 jobs...
...peculiar magic that dilates space and annihilates time. Centuries collide; the imagined becomes surreal, as when Jean daydreams of the Pope's assassination-and the shot is clearly heard by a passerby. Or when a nun's self-sacrifice becomes actual crucifixion. But where he should use a No. 3 paintbrush, Buñuel too often employs a palette knife. What is intended as subtle Human Comedy becomes broadly laughable, as when Jesus and his disciples run through the woods in chromo-colored sequences, or when Mary miraculously appears after a hunter has shot a rosary from...
