One in Four Families Hurt by Recession Survey Finds
A Michgan University survey covering May to June shows one quarter of American families faced unemployment or shorter work weeks. About 8.5 million families had a worker out of work, 4 million faced reduced hours, and combined losses varied by income with 38 percent under $500 and 12 percent over $2,000. Unemployment benefits eased worst cases, and only four percent required relief.

80,000,000 LIVING TODAY Life-saving medical progress cited by Hill

Using life expectancy trends since 1800, about 1.6 billion life years were saved from 1800 to 1956, equating to roughly 92 million people saved in the century. The figure implies nearly one in each family has reason to be grateful.

Nuclear power plans expand with utility projects
Nuclear energy interest grows as firms stage new builds and studies. North American Aviation targets reactors at Piqua and Hallam, while General Electric develops a 180,000 kilowatt plant for Commonwealth Edison near Chicago and a steam system for Pacific Gas & Electric. Additional projects include epithermal thorium research for Southwest Atomic Energy Associates and coastal lab use of GE’s Vallecitos facility.
