1) Several times in this column, we have recommended one of the inexpensive and fascinating booklets published by the International Institute for Economic Research. This time we mention one with special emotion. It is called Access to Energy: A Selection of Brief Essays, and contains excerpts from this newsletter over the last seven years. More important, the Introduction is by Edward Teller, one of the great scientists of the century. It glitters with his usual wit; but he is quite simply mistaken in writing that he has done less "in the battle for reasonable energy sources" than this writer. Nobody, but nobody, has done more to wake up America and the world to the threat of a disastrous, and needless, energy shortage than Edward Teller. Nobody!
$1.25 from Green Hill Publishers, Inc., 236 Forest Park Place, IL 61350
2) It is easily demonstrated that an earlier statement by Mr John Quarles (former EPA Deputy Administrator) that 'environmental protection is the key to continued industrial growth is precisely reversed." From an excellent brief paper "Positive Environmentalism" by Dr J.R. Dunn, President of the American Institute of Professional Geologists, free from N.C.E.B., Box 7732, Louisville, KY 40207.
3) Highly thought-provoking even if you disagree in places, and worthy of more space (but not this time): Earth's Resources: Private Ownership vs. Public Waste by R.J. Smith, $3.50 from Libertarian Party, 1516 "P" St. NW, Washington, DC 20005.
