...German rivers and French canals have dropped so low that barges are carrying reduced loads in order to ride higher in the water. It has also hit hard at the Continent's power systems. With many rivers flowing at only a third of their normal volume and hydroelectric output cut, French utilities have had to burn some 2 million extra tons of oil to meet customer demands for power. As the drought continued in Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and Hungary, rains began to fall in Western Europe-too little and too late to be of much help...
...Answers. Other scientists are studying the sun to determine if its energy output is constant and if there is any link between sunspots (caused by magnetic storms on the sun's surface) and droughts, which often occur every other time the eleven-year cycle of sunspots reaches its low point. Other investigations-of ocean and atmospheric circulation, the processes of mountain building, the influence of land masses-are all pointed toward a better understanding of global climate. That understanding is sorely needed. "Our knowledge of the mechanisms of climatic change is at least as fragmentary as our data," says...
...suddenly spread to include all of the state's 60,000 miners, plus 10,000 of their fellows in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Virginia and Colorado. The miners had lost a total of $24 million in wages by week's end, and U.S. coal output had fallen by 6 million tons, worth $150 million...
...with national pride. For example: In the last week there have been proposals, most notably by men's track and field coach Dr. Leroy Walker, to create national teams in Olympic sports, based on programs established in the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) which increased that nation's medal output. Walker suggested that athletes be picked two years before Olympiads and undergo rigorous training supervised by the team coaches. This might lead to a few more medals. But there can hardly be a greater threat to the Olympic ideals of amateurism and emphasis on taking part instead of winning...
Real gross national product, the nation's total output of goods and services discounted for inflation, grew during the second three months of 1976 at an annual rate of 4.4%-less than half the first quarter's annualized rise of 9.2%. Reason: the first quarter got a lift from a switch by businessmen to restocking inventories they had sold off toward the end of 1975; that was not repeated. But "final sales"-sales of products that do not go into inventories-rose at an annual rate of 4.7%, 1% more than in the first quarter. Orders for durable...
