WASTES. After the nuclear fuel is used, the remaining liquid wastes are not only radioactive but long-lived. Indeed, radioisotopes of plutonium 239 will remain lethal for at least 250,000 years. The AEC is sure that it can handle the problem by solidifying the wastes (so that they cannot enter the environment) and then keeping them under surveillance until a safe storage technique is developed. But, says Physicist Henry Kendall, "the legacy to future generations very much disturbs...
...Stocks. The largest of these liquid asset funds, the Reserve Fund Inc., began accepting purchases from the public in October 1972. In the short time since then, it has attracted $138 million from 10,000 accounts (minimum: $1,000 each)-even though it has been promoted by word of mouth among investment counselors, brokers, corporations and bank trust departments.

...album is unused material from the fifties, resurrection of what Brooks calls their "Dead Sea Scrolls." And, spaced throughout 2000 and Thirteen, flashes of the delightful younger old man show through. Asked for his opinion of the greatest medical advance of his time, he pauses, and finally croaks," Liquid Pr ell --You put a heart-lung machine in your medicine cabinet, you open the door, it falls out--and what happens? It breaks!" And discussing his 400 or 500 marriages, of which exactly 71 per cent were successful, he boasts of his 42,000 children. "21,000 doctors," he says...
