"Nuclear Power: Our Best Option'' by M. Oliver and J. Hospers in The Freeman 45, pp 40-45, January 1995, available from The Foundation for Economic Education, Irvington-on-Hudson, NY 10533, is a good layman's review of reasons including those of Petr Beckmann.
"Whatever Happened to Cold Fusion?'' by D. L. Goodstein in Engineering and Science58, pp 15-25, Fall 1994, available from the California Institute of Technology, 1201 East California Blvd., Pasadena, CA 91125. This article is a good balance for the pro-cold fusion articles that we have previously recommended. Goodstein does not support cold fusion, and he clearly explains the arguments against it. At the same time, he gives an account of recent improvements in cold-fusion research and displays an open mind.
"Reflections on the First Half-Century of Long-Lived Radioactive Carbon (14C)'' by Martin D. Kamen in the Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society138, pp 48-60 (1994). American science stands upon the shoulders of her great scientists, engineers, and industrialists of previous generations. It is a privilege to be able to learn from the few, like Martin Kamen, who are still with us.
"Economic Fascism'' by T. J. DiLorenzo reprinted from The Freeman by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, 1601 N. Tucson Blvd., Suite 9, Tucson, AZ 85716. Although most people equate fascism with the misdeeds of Nazi Germany, few remember that it is actually an economic system that poses a dangerous and immediate threat to human freedom within America today.
The Health Physics Society Centennial Calendar published by The Health Physics Society, 1313 Dolley Madison Blvd., Suite 402, Mclean, VA 22101. This is a terrific 1995 wall calendar giving much information about nuclear science. The back page is especially good.
"Naked Unto Our Enemies'' by A. M. Codevilla in Commentary, pp 43-48, October 1994. National defense is one of the few essential functions of government, yet, in this very dangerous technological age, the American government still ignores part of this responsibility.
"Mid-Latitude Ozone: Going Down, Went Up'' in World Climate p 15 available from Dept. of Environmental Sciences, Clark Hall, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22903. The two ends of the ozone curve, over 30 years apart, are at approximately the same level.
