Life Policy Benefits Favor Widows and Children
A study by the Institute of Life Insurance finds over 80 percent of death claims go to wives, children, and other relatives. The analysis estimates about 1.2 million policies with roughly 1.4 billion dollars in benefits this year, 1.225 billion to wives and children. Husbands receive 11 percent of policies but only four percent of benefits. Also, many claims arise from policies less than five years old, with 70,000 claims within a year of issuance and nearly 100 million dollars at stake. Longer-tenured policies dominate the payout, with about 40 percent of claims and benefits tied to policies in force 20 years or more.

Thunderstorms Misleading Producers of Rain and Lightning
Chicago meteorologist Roscoe R Braham Sr told a New York meeting of the American Meteorological Society that most storm moisture and energy dissipate without rain or lightning. Only about one ninth of potential drops reach the ground, with about a third never condensing, a third evaporating in downdraft, and the remainder drying or remaining in the cloud.

Geologists Predict Coal Use Overtaking Atomic Energy
Washington geologists from the American Geological Institute forecast minimal industrial use of atomic energy in fifty years and expect coal and shale to supply most power by 2009. They foresee oil and gas from underground coal seams within 25 years and liquid fuels from Colorado Plateau oil shale and Midwestern low-grade coals by 1975 as natural petroleum declines.
