Safer Canadian reactors cut nuclear risk and cost
At a spring American Physical Society meeting Dr. Eugene Critoph described four Canadian CANDU reactors powering Pickering near Toronto. Each unit yields 500 million watts at 20 percent lower cost per kilowatt hour than a comparable coal plant. These reactors run on nonfissionable fuels after startup and require little transport of uranium or thorium, reducing bomb-making risk. Dr. Hans Bethe argues both reactor types are needed.

Conservatives Eye Jerry Brown as GOP Drift Sparks Coalition Talks
Conservatives consider elevating Jerry Brown as a presidential option if Reagan falters and the Democrats adopt a more conservative foreign policy. The Coalition for a Democratic Majority, led by Eugene Rostow, argues Reaganite liberalism may attract conservatives seeking fiscal restraint and a tougher stance on defense, urging a shift from detente toward stronger U.S. military posture and revised SALT policies. Brown’s frugal governance and anti inflation stance could unite liberals and conservatives around a reformist Democratic platform.

Admiral Dewey and the dream of national maturity
Holmes Alexander reflects on the Dewey era and its place in American history. He notes Dewey’s heroism in Manila Bay, the 1898-1900 debates over Philippines self-government, and the later Dewey-for-President fad.

Barry Goldwater on Regulation and the New Regulators
Barry Goldwater argues that since 1962 more than 25 bills increased regulation, costs, and bureaucracy, harming small businesses and consumers. He cites EPA rules raising car prices, projected federal costs of 2.2 billion in 1976, and the growing power of the Consumer Product Safety Commission under Rep. Jamie Whitten’s scrutiny.
