Ever since the beginning of the nuclear age, the U.S. Government has had a monopoly on the domestic manufacture of basic atomic fuel: enriched uranium.* But the Government's three enrichment plants at Oak Ridge, Tenn., Paducah, Ky., and Portsmouth, Ohio, cannot keep pace with the demands of proliferating nuclear power plants; the output of enriched uranium has been booked for the next 25 years. If the U.S. is not to lose the lion's share of the lucrative nuclear-fuel market to foreign newcomers-the U.S.S.R., France and others-the Federal Government must either build at least...
...real tragedy to me is the people who are completely trapped. I was one of the most privileged. I didn't suffer with the others, and I felt bad because of it, like I was less Vietnamese than the others. Americans look at Thieu and Ky and believe the whole country is corrupt because they are.

Blue Ridge...
...Ky's wife had already passed through Guam and Honolulu en route to San Francisco with a party of some 13 women and children; Mrs. Ky was staying with relatives in the Bay Area last week. Should Ky and any of his high-ranking colleagues similarly land on American shores, they would not be confounded by red tape. The Attorney General has used his "parole power" to ensure entry into the country of all Vietnamese who run a "high risk" of retaliation at the hands of the Communists. A similar provision has already enabled Cambodia's former President...
