...himself appears in only three of the eighteen scenes (plus a brief apparition as a ghost). Bernard Kates plays him as a forceful man who seems much younger than his 55 years. It is hard to reconcile this Caesar with the one who, Cassius tells us, ran out of steam while swimming in the Tiber. Although Caesar has recently returned from military victories. I prefer a Caesar who is slightly over the hill, who is clearly showing signs of weakness (like the deal left ear he himself mentions...
...average, slightly seedy apartment in Oakland, Calif. The Rolling Stones' new album, Exile on Main St., was playing on the stereo, the shower was running, and out of the steam came a croaky voice singing Tumbling Dice. Then out of the shower, into his underpants, and out into the big bright kitchen came Dick Miller, 23, home after a long day clerking at the art-supplies store. "Three hours till we hear the greatest rock-'n'-roll band in the world," Miller yelled out the window to no one in particular...
...reserve pipes, the "emergency core cooling system" (ECCS), may also fail. What would happen if the cooling system breaks down? M.I.T. Nuclear Physicist Hugh Kendall paints a lurid picture. The nuclear core would become a molten mass, so hot that it could melt through anything guarding it. Subsequent steam explosions could rupture the outer container, releasing a cloud of radioactivity about two miles wide and 60 miles long. Much of the population in that area would be dead within two weeks...
...EARTH'S HEAT. Pacific Gas & Electric Co. operates the U.S.'s only geothermal plant, at the Geysers in California's Sonoma Valley. There, the engineers capture sulfurous, superheated steam hissing from natural vents and drilled wells in the earth's surface and use it to drive turbines. There is some question whether such techniques would work where there are no natural vents. The Los Alamos National Laboratory is now trying to exploit the dry, hot (600° F.) granite that underlies most of the earth. Scientists plan to sink two holes 15,000 ft. deep, then...
...deliberate caution of North Viet Nam's General Vo Nguyen Giap. Communist main-force attacks have recently been replaced by a campaign of probes, sapper assaults and artillery barrages. The Communists' failure to follow up initial advantages suggested that they might indeed be running out of steam, but the situation in the three main trouble spots remained ambiguous...
