...that less than half of the 100,000 civilians wounded each year ever make it to Viet Nam's 58 "hospitals." Those who do generally wind up sleeping on corridor floors, or two or three to a bed. The hospitals are no better than sheds, rife with epidemics. Water and electricity are limited to a few hours a day. Some of the injured wait up to a year for surgery. Through neglect, there are almost twice as many amputees among South Vietnamese civilians as there were among American soldiers in World...
...always died in committee on the other side of the Hill. Colorado's Wayne Aspinall, chairman of the House Interior Committee, and a crusty young whippersnapper of 71, has effectively blocked the bill because his state-along with six others-shares the source of Arizona's water: the Colorado River. Unless Colorado's share of the water was guaranteed Aspinall was not about to let any of Hayden's proposals leak out of his committee. After Hayden's latest bill was passed in the Senate, Aspinall simply ignored it, just as he had promised...
...that decentralization is altogether more feasible than does Rocky, who has had nine years as Governor in which to learn. During his tenure, Rockefeller has increased aid to secondary and elementary schools by 170%, tripled the size of the state university system, inaugurated a $1 billion program to end water pollution, pushed through a $1.50 minimum wage, and proposed a $2.5 billion program to modernize mass transportation. Though he was not entirely satisfied with the state's new constitution (see THE LAW), he endorsed it last week, a move that aligned the Governor with Bobby Kennedy and against practically...
...Clouds. Of the planetary environments investigated so far by telescope and space probe, the scientists write in Nature, conditions in the atmosphere of Venus resemble those on earth more than anywhere else. In the lower Venusian clouds, they say, there is carbon dioxide, water and sunshine-prerequisites for photosynthesis. The temperatures are chilly, but above freezing. If small amounts of minerals were stirred up to the clouds from Venus' surface, the scientists believe that an indigenous biology-based entirely on biochemical principles observed on earth-could exist...
...they descended too far toward the surface, Morowitz and Sagan speculate that they must be regulated to hover at an essentially fixed altitude. Thus, the organisms could well take the form of a gasbag or float bladder containing hydrogen gas-which the organism itself could produce by decomposing water...
