Access to Energy

GOOD READING

  • "The Education of Thomas Edison'' by J. Powell, The Freeman, February 1995, pp 73-76. Edison was home schooled by self-teaching from well-chosen, high-quality books. He had been withdrawn by his mother from school - where the teacher classified him as "addled.'' Edison's method was the same in its essential characteristics as the method we advocate as a replacement for public schools.

  • "Work is the Main Thing'' by L. E. Lehrman, Wall Street Journal, February 10, 1995, p A8. This describes the views of Abraham Lincoln - opposed to direct federal taxation except in war; favoring equality of opportunity, but not forced equality; favoring a cooperative relationship between labor and capital; and believing that intelligence and labor should be allowed to lead to savings and entrepreneurship.

  • "AZT Falls Short for Kids with HIV'' in Science News 147, p 100 (1995). A study of 839 children at 62 medical centers was stopped because those receiving AZT were deteriorating the most rapidly.

  • "How to Fight Terrorism and Win!'' by Si Frumkin in Graffiti for Intellectuals, March 3, 1995, p 1, available from P. O. Box 1542, Studio City, CA 91614-0542. This is an excellent monthly newsletter.

  • "Wasted Energy'' in The Wall Street Journal of March 16, 1995, p A20. The Department of Energy has already spent $4.5 billion of a $10.5 billion fund created from a special tax on nuclear generated electricity to provide for waste disposal. None has been provided. One gem - all of the radioactive waste from American nuclear power plants for the last 30 years would cover just one football field three yards deep.

  • "Right to Read Report'' of December 1994, from 3220 N. St. NW, Suite 174, Washington, DC 20007, in defense of phonics against efforts to substitute other methods that do not work.
