...overreacted," snapped a spokesman for the Calorie Control Council, an Atlanta-based trade group. "The physiology of a rat or mouse isn't the same as that of a human," protested William Inman, vice president of Sherwin-Williams Co. of Cleveland, the sole U.S. producer of saccharin, whose output accounts for 65% of the 8 million lbs. consumed yearly by Americans. Researchers pointed to the enormous quantities of saccharin fed the test rats-equivalent to consumption by a human of some 800 cans of diet soda each day over a lifetime. Said Duke University Biochemist Henry Kamin: "The dosages...
...Small Output. Yet the very existence of the group-and its reason for being in Wisconsin last week-points up a worrisome energy problem: nuclear power, once regarded as the ultimate energy source, faces a more troubled future today than it did when the first experimental reactor was switched on in 1951. Only 63 nuclear-power plants are operating, and they account for a mere 2.9% of all U.S. energy production. Only seven atomic-power plants were licensed in 1976, and only three reactors were ordered, compared with...
...boycott has had no perceptible result. Stevens set records for both sales ($1.4 billion) and profits ($41 million) last year. But union leaders say that serious boycott preparations started only in January. One problem they face is that much of Stevens' output is unfinished cloth sold to other manufacturers, and the company's own consumer products sell under a bewildering variety of private labels and brand names, including Utica blankets and Gulistan carpets. Some, like Yves Saint Laurent sheets, bear designer names. Nonetheless, ACTWU is printing up thousands of wallet-sized cards listing labels, and plans to take...
...guidelines for productivity increases that have been set by the government as a prerequisite for additional investment in British Leyland. In general the productivity of European workers is substantially lower than that of their U.S. counterparts at the workbench or assembly line. Though European growth rates in output per man-hour are often increasing at a faster rate than those in the U.S., Europe's best worker, who happens to be French, produces only 80.6% as much as a U.S. worker. The British worker, who is Europe's worst, turns out only 54.4% as much...
...onshore deposits of natural gas are slowly pumped dry, output from underwater wells becomes ever more important. Some 160 offshore rigs, or a third of all those operating throughout the world, are now drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. Last week TIME Correspondent George Taber visited several. His report...
