Faraday Inspired Magnetohydrodynamic Power Advance at UTSI
The University of Tennessee Space Institute researchers along with Russian scientists advance magnetohydrodynamic MHD power using crushed coal treated with potassium and heated to 5000 degrees. The accelerated gas passes through a magnetic field generating electricity with no moving parts, promising higher efficiency and reduced emissions. A Soviet pilot plant ran 10 million watts for 250 hours and aims for commercial use by 1985.

Less Talk More Thinking on Near East Policy Prepares New Steps
Joseph Kraft argues the Carter administration should pause public rhetoric and craft a phased, smaller set of steps to salvage the Geneva approach. He urges return to step by step diplomacy including limited Israel concessions to Jericho and Jordan's King Hussein, while delaying Palestine until later to avoid derailing talks.
