Looking for Loopholes. Despite his "speaks for itself" record and all the attacks it has stirred up against him, Jimmy Hoffa is still cockily confident, brimful of big plans for the future, including an alliance of all land, water and air transport unions...
Fearlessly at home in the water, the way a fisherman's sons often are, the Fukushi brothers splashed about last week in the protective shallows breaking over the narrow shale shelf of their little beach on Okujiri Island, ten miles off Hokkaido's southwestern shore. When 14-year-old Masami Fukushi plunged off the shelf and sprinted out into deep water toward a rock 50 yards away, his younger brothers, Masakatsu, 12, Takeshi, 10, and Takeaki. 9, quickly gave chase...
...international conference of physicists. The data indicated that his project has made a significant advance toward the achievement of the first controlled fusion reaction, an objective that could give the human race a source of energy that would last for millions of years: one small bucket of water holds enough heavy hydrogen to make fuel equivalent to 300 gallons of gasoline...
...Water for Fuel. The first step toward creating a controlled fusion reaction is to heat up deuterium gas until the nucleus (one proton and one neutron) of each atom is separated from the electron that ordinarily orbits around it (deuterium is the hydrogen isotope in heavy water, D2O). If the particles are made hot enough, the deuterium nuclei will collide with ample force to "fuse" together, forming helium 3 and giving off a neutron. When that happens, part of their mass is converted into energy-the energy of the hydrogen bomb, the stars...
...Electric Floor Washer. A lightweight electric floor washer that wet-scrubs floors and vacuum-dries them will be put on sale next month by the Hoover Co., North Canton, Ohio. Its motor creates a suction to pick up dirty water after the floor is scrubbed by nylon brushes. Price...
