...incredulous American reporter's comment on this scenario: "Then how come it's been liberal newspapers and politicians leading the attack on Nixon, if the whole thing is a plot by the reactionaries?" The Russian comeback: "Look at Barry Goldwater. You call him a liberal? Wasn't he one of the first to talk about impeachment...
THIS chilling scenario is not from a leftist science-fiction film but out of the pages of a serious recent book, The Energy Crisis (Crown; $5.95), by Lawrence Rocks and Richard P. Runyon, both professors at Long Island's C.W. Post College. Unless the U.S. takes serious measures to find new sources of energy, the authors warn, such massive turmoil could occur in the U.S. by the 1980s.

Astronomer Bracewell himself doubts that the echoes were deliberate; he suspects that they were caused by a still-undiscovered natural effect in the atmosphere. Fanciful or not, Lunan's theory is not being dismissed altogether. At the London meeting, a leading British computer expert, Anthony Lawton, announced that Lunan's theory...
