...will not likely be led again by so dominating a man as Kenyatta. He was at least a generation older than most African leaders, and he was working for uhuru (independence) before some of them were born.

...passage of time should shortly lighten one of labor's greatest burdens: its rule by aging, parochial leaders of whom Meany is the curmudgeonly symbol. Seven of the 35 members of the AFL-CIO executive council are over 65, and cannot cling to power much longer.

...many American researchers remain unconvinced that there is any real danger. Only recently a study by the National Academy of Sciences found that naval radar operators died no younger than their peers in other jobs. The Environmental Protection Agency points out that 98% of the U.S. population is exposed to less than one microwatt of microwave radiation at any one time. Says State Department Biologist Herbert Pollack: "The 'zapping of America' is just a sensationalist charge." Perhaps so, but in an era of microwaves, their use obviously requires continued research and education...
