David Warner creates a fine Stevenson: tightly disciplined, revealing his menace only through eyes that constantly shift and smiles that fade too quickly. Malcolm McDowell gives a broader performance as the warmer, more human Wells; from his wide-eyed appraisal of a Hare Krishna troupe to his relief at recognizing tea on the menu of "that Scottish place" MacDonald's, his visionary inventor is quite appealing. He perpetually exhibits what Amy calls a "little-boy-lost look", aided by his slight figure that contrasts nicely with...

Should the Mexicans be found guilty of violating the antidumping law they would have to pay duties on their produce to cover the margin of dumping. The issue is hot. As a State Department specialist...
Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) devices, which get power from the 45° F temperature differential that can exist between surface tropical water and the deep, are being studied by both Lockheed and TRW Inc. The idea is to use the warmer water to heat liquid ammonia into gas, which would drive a turbine, and then draw up cold water through long pipes to recool the gas into liquid. Tested as early as the 1930s, the idea has been shown to work, but it has never been very economical. A 10,000-Mw complex, enough for 6.6 million people, would...
