...only comfortable with that, not tailoring his opinions to this group or that poll." Kennedy opposes draft registration. "I would rather do with less gas than shed American blood to defend OPEC pipelines," he shouts. And nuclear power: "There is no position for nuclear power in a Kennedy energy program." And on the economy: "I will stop inflation in its tracks." His aides believe that Kennedy draws most blood when he assails Carter for "not coming out of the Rose Garden." Says Kennedy at every stop: "Jimmy Carter ought not to be given a blank check. The last time...
When Tai and Randy skated out onto the ice Friday night with the other pairs for their warmups prior to the pairs short-program competition, the crowd gave a pleasant stir of anticipation. The U.S. pair struck a pose, glided around the rink and then went into a sit-spin. Randy fell out of it. He got up and brushed off the ice. They skated over to Coach John Nicks, talked anxiously, came back and tried the sit-spin again. This time, Randy stayed up, but he had to put a hand down to keep from tumbling...
Another hurried conference with Nicks, then around the ice, building speed for the lift that would be required in the short program. But Randy did not hoist Tai high above him. The best he could do was press his partner to the height of his head, then set her abruptly down again-a maneuver that was quick and forced and terribly ragged. Randy's face was drawn. Once more they talked with Nicks, then skated out to try a double axel. Three times they attempted the move, and three times Randy fell. The crowd watched in murmurous disbelief; Gardner...

Just 2.5 meters (8 ft.) deep and 7,000 square meters (70,000 sq. ft.) in area, the Ein Bokek pond produces 150 kilowatts of power. To generate more power, significantly larger ponds would be needed. Physicist Harry Tabor, chief architect of Israel's solar pond program, notes, for instance, that surfaces of large solar ponds must be crisscrossed with plastic baffles. These gridlike barriers prevent winds from churning up the water, which would mix the critical layers and diminish the pond's effectiveness as a heat collector. But Israeli officials, who hope to build a five-megawatt...
