...Major metropolitan hospitals are not the only ones involved in the technology race. Jimmy Carter in April confessed that, as a member of the governing board of Georgia's Americus and Sumter County Hospital in the 1960s he had particpated in bilking his neighbors. Said the President: "We were naturally inclined to buy a new machine whenever it became available. Then we required every patient who came to the hospital to submit their body to the machine, whether they needed it or not, to rapidly defray the purchase. I did not realize then that I was ripping off people...
...pure were their motives? They could not be out to save art. More likely, they are thinking about the fistfuls of money museums stand to lose if Rockefeller's slick catalogue catches on.

Poncet, who worked on Ubatuba over a five-year period, was less optimistic that all the Senator's men could ever put Ubatuba back together again. "Everything would be destroyed in terms...
...Nuclear Regulatory Commission provided disturbing new details on the initial performance of Metropolitan Edison Co., the plant's beleaguered operator. Midway through the first critical day, the hot, uranium-filled core, normally bathed in pressurized cooling water, was left dangerously uncovered for as long as 50 minutes; controllers had shut off the emergency core cooling system, probably because of ambiguous or misleading instrument readings. It was during this period that much of the damage was done to the fuel rods, causing a release of radiation...
