Moderates in GOP lack drive and national impact
Washington based analysis argues GOP moderates lack a strong leader and cohesive skills to shape the party. It lists governors like Walter Peterson and Nelson Rockefeller among moderates while noting Senate figures such as Charles Percy and Edward Brooke, and predicts limited influence by 1974 to 1975 with conservatives set to organize and moderates struggling to unite.

Radiation as a new energy source gains ground
Dr. Kennard H. Morganstern, president of Radiation Dynamics, Inc., argues radiation offers heatless energy and broad industrial applicability. He notes costs have fallen from 10 dollars per kilowatt hour in the 1960s to 25 to 50 cents, and highlights the companys backlog near 3.7 million dollars while sales approach 4 million. He credits Firestone's 21 month stake as key turning point and cites research and pulp processing potential with accelerator irradiation of wood chips. He laments limited government recognition of radiation, especially for food preservation.
