Reagan's problem is largely age--but not so much biologically as rhetorically and ideologically. He speaks from a creaking, World War II perspective; his rhetoric has a rusty edge to it--broadcast from a different, simpler day when things didn't insist on being complicated. In New Hampshire, it may prevail but in the real world, it is losing its appeal...
...comes what may eventually be a simpler and cheaper solution. In the British medical journal Lancet, Pediatrician Tetsuro Fujiwara reports successfully using a strange concoction to coat the lungs of 15 newborns with HMD who were not responding to standard therapy. The ingredients: purified surfactant taken from cow lungs and organic compounds. Others have tried a similar approach, using totally synthetic surfactants. But such solutions seemed not to work because they lacked some essence of the natural substance. Moreover, no one had yet devised a way to apply a surfactant directly to a baby's lungs...
...plant in Marcoule, near Avignon, scientists are using a simpler system called vitrification. The waste is allowed to cool off for five years, then mixed with borosilicate glass and hardened into a black, solid glass cylinder. Storage is easier because this cylinder occupies only one-sixth the volume of the waste in liquid form. French scientists reckon that if all the nuclear waste that the country generates in the next 20 years were formed into a solid glass cube, each side would measure 53 ft. in length. This glass is expected to resist corrosion and prevent seepage. Creating a waste...
...simpler and more effective solution to the President's urge to strike back at the Soviets would have been to double the price of corn, soybeans and wheat for the Soviet Union and its satellite countries...
There once was a simpler way to deal with the Soviets, Senator Henry Jackson recalled last week-and it involved another Iran crisis. In 1946 the Soviets and British agreed to end their World War II occupation of Iran, but the Soviets reneged. They increased their forces and set up autonomous regimes in the northwestern provinces of Azerbaijan and Kurdistan. In a little-known episode of nuclear diplomacy that Jackson said he had heard from Harry Truman, the President summoned Soviet Ambassador Andrei Gromyko to the White House. Truman told Gromyko that Soviet troops should evacuate Iran within 48 hours...
